United States 2023, 113 min, English, Hebrew subtitles After a 60-year-long career, Joan Baez, now 82, goes on tour for the last time, bidding farewell not only to the stage but also to her role as a leading activist who took part in some of the world’s biggest civil rights struggles. In addition to Baez’s wonderful songs, her collaborations with Dylan, and the public struggles that made her a living legend, the film sheds light on little Joanie, who was born to a mixed-race family and experienced racism firsthand; on Joan the young woman, whose success awakened dark demons within her; and on mature Joan, as painful memories seep through the cracks in her immense charisma. Self-possessed yet soft and serene, Baez shares her childhood diaries, family stories, conversations with her parents and sisters, beautiful photographs, and recordings from therapy sessions. To no one’s surprise, the soundtrack is electrifying.
