JAKARTA - The documentary about Sinead O'Connor was shown on TV last weekend, July 29, as planned even though the Irish singer died.

Kathryn Ferguson's film, Nothing Compares, was originally scheduled for release last Saturday on Sky Docaries and streaming service Now.

After Sinead died earlier this week, July 26, at the age of 56, Ferguson said that after carefully considering he decided to continue the release of the film as planned.

"We have scheduled to release Nothing Compares today on Sky and Now for a very long time and after much consideration we will continue the plan," Ferguson tweeted on Saturday.

"Reactions to film and love for Sinead are very clear and we feel the screening this weekend is the right thing to do, so people can see it in all glory and hear it telling the story's side," he added.

"An option rarely given to him by some aspect of the media is spending so much of their time reducing everything he says."

Ferguson continued: "Nothing Compares is a love letter to Sinead. He means a lot to me and I know he did it to many of you."

Watch the film, feel the anger, cry and let's remember the woman because of her radical and magical way and everything she has done for us. I've never been so proud of being an Irish woman."
