The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane

The underground history of this singer-agitator has been overlooked by many storytellers of American history...until now. Pick a 20th century social justice movement and powerhouse blues/jazz/folk singer, activist, feminist, record producer, and committed troublemaker Barbara Dane was probably there. Standing strong with her singular confidence, Dane emanates the people-powered connectivity of folk, the defiance of blues, and the elemental cool of jazz, while propelling major historic events with boldness and subversion that cut through commercial artifice and earned her a 5" FBI file. Dane's unbending principles guide her through notoriety, obscurity, and, finally, music legend. Through the lens of a recent concert tour, this exuberant dance of a documentary gives familiar movements a high-energy shakeup while showcasing an outspoken and tireless artist whose devotion to music and social justice illustrate the vigor and spirit at the heart of American dissent.
