In the first comprehensive documentary to chronicle the private life and public career of 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. How Sweet The Sound features interviews with David Crosby, Bob Dylan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Roger McGuinn and others, as well as a candid conversation between Joan and ex-husband David Harris. The film is rich is historic archival material including footage of Baez` controversial visit to North Vietnam, 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, and never-before-seen film of Joan as a teenager performing at Club 47 in Cambridge, where her career was launched in 1958.

Seltene Archivaufnahmen und sehr persönliche Interviews mit Bob Dylan, Reverend Jesse Jackson, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn und vielen anderen: ein ebenso persönliches wie historisches Porträt.

Joan Baez sang im Bunker von Hanoi während der heftigsten Luftangriffe des Vietnamkrieges. Dreissig Jahre später spielte sie als eine der ersten im kriegserschütterten Sarajewo - mit kugelsicherer Weste! Martin Luther King jr. stattete ihr in den 1960er Jahren einen Solidaritätsbesuch in einem kalifornischen Gefängnis ab, als sie wegen ihres Friedensengagements inhaftiert war. 1959 hatte sie beim Newport Folk Festival ihren legendären Auftritt, 1969 hochschwanger in Woodstock. Zuletzt engagierte sie sich gegen Landminen, den Irakkrieg und verschärfte Einwanderungsgesetze für Mexikaner. Seltene Archivaufnahmen aus einem engagierten Leben des Widerstands werden mit Interviews ihrer Freunde und Begleiter zu einer dichten Erzählung verwoben.
