- The Arhoolie Foundation is proud to sponsor the production of the new documentary film “The Nine Lives of Barbara Dane” on the life and music of Barbara Dane. Your donations are essential arhoolie.org/project/barbara-... and will allow filmmakers to continue with editing, sound mix, color correction, music rights and more. Thank you!
Filmmakers Maureen Gosling (THIS AIN’T NO MOUSE MUSIC, BURDEN OF DREAMS) and Jed Riffe (ISHI, THE LAST YAHI, THE LONG SHADOW) have joined forces with producer (and daughter of Barbara Dane) Nina Menéndez (TROPICOLA), have begun production on a feature-length documentary, THE NINE LIVES OF BARBARA DANE.
THE NINE LIVES OF BARBARA DANE (working title) illuminates the true story of Barbara Dane, a trailblazing woman and an unsung hero of American music: blues, jazz and folk singer, social activist, wife, mother of three, world traveler, feminist, record producer, maverick and general troublemaker. Barbara Dane, a fiercely independent woman, born in the 1920s, took the power of her voice from the bright lights of jazz and blues celebrity to the tumultuous streets of 1960s America, paving her own way with her art, in the service of social justice, civil rights and peace. Still going strong in her early 90s, Dane's dynamic contemporary life offers a jumping off point to recount how she turned many setbacks into opportunities, and provides deep inspiration for generations of musicians and activists.
Featuring:
The Chambers Brothers, Pablo Menéndez, Bonnie Raitt, Gary Giddens (jazz critic), Estela Bravo (Cuban filmmaker), as well as archival footage and music of Jessie Fuller, Louis Armstrong, Pete Seeger, Lightnin' Hopkins, Earl "Fatha" Hines and much more.
Barbara Dane is one of my heroes. Truly an inspirational woman, I hope to hold only a fraction of the sense of justice that she sang about and fought for. Free Palestine
Just discovered her (on an old episode of HItchcock), thought "wow!" - had to look her up. She was so ahead of her time! (Still is, I imagine.)
Doug......me too........!! "Captive Audience" just aired on MeTv !!! Wow.....Barbara is AMAZING..........
I just saw that episode of Hitchcock. I didn't know who she was and was surprised to see that she was still alive at age 98. Excellent music. The episode of Hitchcock is called the captive.
There needs to be a Barbara Dane documentary. I hope this is completed.
It's completed beautifully - now it's a distribution issue.
Donated!! Barbara Dane is a goddess

LOVE!!! Super Legend!!! My Friend!!~!~ Love You!!!!
This looks wondrous! The Mill Valley film festival is such a fitting venue for this film premiere!
Great video
I've been a fan ever since I got an LP of Folk Festival at Newport Vol 2 1959, singing Little Maggie and Dink's Blues.
For years I've been saying that a documentary of sorts needs to be done about Barbara Dane. Just seeing this after a year of this was posted. Has this been completed?
Where can we stream this!?
I wish that I had known about Barbara Dane, over a half century ago. The best people are always under government watch and are often not given the attention that they deserve.
Why she never talks about her son that she left in Cuba. He and her grandson are great musicians too.
??? Had no idea about that! I'm going to buy her autobiography, maybe she talks about it there.
