An intimate, unflinching look at the sixty-year career, and personal life, of the Queen of Folk
About this Event

Dir: Miri Navasky, Maeve O’Boyle, Karen O’Connor; 2023 (113 mins.)

Memories can bring “diamonds and rust,” and in this deep and meditative documentary, Joan Baez has an entire storage unit full of them!

Using previously unreleased home movies, artwork, diaries, therapy tapes, and audio recordings, I Am a Noise takes an honest look back at the sixty-year career of the Queen of Folk, not only surveying her career as a folk singer and Civil Rights activist, but also her personal battles with panic attacks and familial abuse.
