Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound (DVD)

In the first comprehensive film to chronicle the private life and public career of Joan Baez, Thirteen’s American Masters documentary Joan Baez: How Sweet The Sound examines her history as a recording artist and performer as well as her remarkable journey as the conscience of a generation. In addition to featuring rare, archival performance footage, the film includes candid interviews with David Crosby, Bob Dylan, ex-husband David Harris, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Roger McGuinn, and more. The film is rich with historic material including footage of Baez’ controversial visit to North Vietnam and footage of Martin Luther King Jr. outside a California prison, where he visited Joan to offer his support after she was jailed for protesting the draft during the Vietnam War.

Bonus content: Conversations with Joan Baez, Dar Williams, Bill Fegan, Vaclav Havel, Steve Earle and Bishop Earnest Palmer
