Joan Baez I Am A Noise

With a career spanning over 60 years, Baez has a lifetime of stories and secrets to share, but she also has boxes of never-before-seen home movies, diaries, paintings and audio recordings. This treasure trove forms the basis of a compelling doco-portrait, alongside archival footage and revealing interviews with the now 82-year-old. Baez unveils the gamut of her extraordinary life both public and private: her childhood, ongoing anxieties, relationship with a young Bob Dylan, friendship with Martin Luther King Jr. and, of course, her enduring activism. Directors Miri Navasky, Maeve O’Boyle and Karen O’Connor (a long-time friend of Baez) have delivered a surprisingly intimate film (selected for Berlinale and SXSW) of this iconic artist and campaigner.
