Synopsis

In the first comprehensive documentary to chronicle the private life and public career of Joan Baez, this film examines her history as a recording artist and performer as well as her remarkable journey as the conscience of a generation. Filled throughout with breathtaking performances spanning her entire career; from never before seen footage of her as a teenager starting out singing in Cambridge to her recent tour; the filmmakers capture Baez in conversations with close companions and even in repose making for a most intimate experience of unparalleled access. The film is also rich in archival footage detailing her controversial visit to North Vietnam and her close relationship with Dr. King.
