THE 9 LIVES OF BARBARA DANE TRAILER

A Film by Maureen Gosling
Produced by Jed Riffe
Featuring Barbara Dane, Bonnie Raitt, Jane Fonda, The Chambers Brothers, Louis Armstong

American history gets a shakeup through the story of Barbara Dane, a powerhouse blues/jazz/folk singer whose unbending principles guide her through notoriety, obscurity, and finally, music legend. Pick a 20th century social justice movement, and this mysterious unsung hero of American music was probably there. Dane emanated 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.
