Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, Joan Baez I Am a Noise is a raw and intimate portrait of the legendary folk singer and activist that shifts back and forth through time as it follows Joan Baez on her final tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings.

Baez is remarkably revealing about her life on and off stage – from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with Martin Luther King, Jr. 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.

Directed by Miri Navasky, Maeve O’Boyle, and Karen O’Connor, Joan Baez I Am a Noise is produced by Navasky and O’Connor and edited by O’Boyle. Executive Producers are Greg Sarris, Patti Smith, Josh Braun, Ben Braun, and Terry Press.

Magnolia Pictures will release Joan Baez I Am A Noise in NY theaters on October 6, 2023, and will expand to Los Angeles and additional markets on October 13, 2023.
