The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane + Q&A | Doc'n Roll Film Festival

Doc’n Roll NYC Film Festival.

Barbara Dane: folk, blues and jazz singer, international social justice activist and recording star, wife, mother of three, feminist, record producer, unwavering maverick and general troublemaker on the road at 90. The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane is an explosion of music and passion, and a celebration of one woman’s groundbreaking artistry and moral leadership. Standing strong with her singular confidence, Dane combined the people-powered connectivity of folk, the defiance of blues and the elemental cool of jazz while documenting major historic events with boldness and subversion that cut through commercial artifice and earned her a 5 inch-thick FBI file. This documentary presents the underground history of a singer-agitator whose unbending principles have guided her through notoriety, obscurity, and finally, music legend.
