Facing the end of a 60-year musical career, legendary folk singer and activist Joan Baez takes an honest look back and a deep look inward as she tries to make sense of both her public and her private story.

This unusually intimate portrait shifts back and forth through time as it follows Joan on her final tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings.

Joan is also remarkably revealing about her life – from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with Martin Luther King and a heartbreaking romance with a young 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.
