The revered folk singer's documentary reveals her toughest relationships and the internal battle she has waged constantly since childhood.
She's made dozens of albums that have sold millions of copies, their commercial success belied by the cultural and artistic impact the 60s folk singer and her work had on the music world in decades to follow.
She speaks openly of her infamous dalliance with Bob Dylan, a relationship that made headlines at the time, and that Baez says was "demoralising" when it ended. It's a fascinating angle, given that the public image of Baez was that of a hugely successful recording artist and powerful countercultural figure. Beneath the surface, she struggled with endless mental health issues, manifesting in a regrettable addiction to quaaludes in the 1970s.
She beams about the success of her brilliant 1975 album Diamonds & Rust, which put her back on the map and made her a bunch of money, while lamenting the awful front cover of 1977's Blowin' Away.
