JOAN BAEZ I AM A NOISE

USA | 2023 | COLOR & B&W | DCP | 113’ | ENGLISH

A folk music legend, an unparalleled songwriter, a tireless activist and icon of a radical era, Joan Baez talks about the milestones of her career and life during her definitive farewell tour. This latter detail gives an air of elegy to a generous film filled with landmark events of 20th century American history, through the case of a great musician, her political awakening, the social battles which defined her, Bob Dylan ‘who broke her heart’, creating thus a humane mosaic of great archival and emotional value.
