See Joan Baez Get Candid in Trailer for New Documentary ‘I Am a Noise’

The documentary showcases the singer’s life through newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes and audio recordings

Joan Baez is getting the documentary treatment.

The folk singer and activist is the subject of the forthcoming film Joan Baez I Am a Noise, which is “neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film,” according to a press release.

I Am a Noise paints a raw portrait of Baez, 82, that showcases her history and follows her throughout her final tour. The film, directed by Miri Navasky, Maeve O’Boyle, and Karen O’Connor, “delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings.”

Additionally, it offers an intimate look at her career, as well as her “lifelong emotional struggles” and work as an activist. It also delves into her ill-fated romance with Bob Dylan.

“A searingly honest look at a living legend, this film is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of an iconic artist who has never told the full truth of her life, as she experienced it, until now,” says the release.
