March 10, 2023: Austin Chronicles: SXSW Documentary Exhumes a Personal History Folk Icon and Activist Joan Baez
So much of Joan Baez's life has been in the spotlight since she was heralded as the crystalline voice of the 1960s folk scene that there would seem to be little new ground for a documentary to cover. Her rise to international stardom as a teenager, her civil rights and anti-war activism, and her high-profile personal relationships and struggles with anxiety have all been well documented through two autobiographies, numerous books, and previous films. Yet Joan Baez I Am a Noise takes audiences somewhere completely unexpected. The new documentary from directors Karen O'Connor, Miri Navasky, and Maeve O'Boyle (making its North American premiere at South by Southwest) quite literally opens a storage vault of the artist's life and 60-year career.
