KRCL's Music Meets Movies continues with the 2022 documentary Nothing Compares.
If all you know of Sinead O'Connor is the one song and her appearance on Saturday Night Live, this documentary will make you an instant fan.

"Nothing Compares is the story of Sinéad O'Connor's phenomenal rise to worldwide fame and how her iconoclastic personality resulted in her exile from the pop mainstream. Focusing on her prophetic words and deeds from 1987–1993, the film reflects on the legacy of this fearless trailblazer through a contemporary feminist lens."
