Featuring Bonnie Raitt, Jane Fonda, Louis Armstrong, the Chambers Brothers, Amy Goodman and more - American history gets a shakeup through the story of a powerhouse blues, jazz, folk singer!

THE 9 LIVES OF BARBARA DANE reveals the untold story of an often-overlooked artist whose dedication to music and social justice showcases the tireless spirit and spirit at the heart of American activism, from the 1960s to today.  Mentored by Pete Seeger, discovered by Louis Armstrong, with Bob Dylan bringing his songs to her and Bonnie Raitt drawing inspiration from her work, Dane stood at the center of major cultural movements. She launched the career of the Chambers Brothers and helped shape Jane Fonda’s politics, raising a compelling question: Why isn’t Barbara Dane a household name?  The film chronicles a trailblazing woman who chose conscience over fame, transforming setbacks into opportunities and forging her own path through art. With singular confidence, Dane emanated the people-powered connectivity of folk, the defiance of blues, and the elemental cool of jazz - using music as a force for change and earning a four-inch FBI file along the way.

THE 9 LIVES OF BARBARA DANE directed by Maureen Gosling/produced by Jed Riffe, features a “ravishing cascade” of music and stories.
