Janis Ian: Breaking Silence
2024
Presented in 2025
One of the most recognizable figures of the 1960s, Janis Ian created music that challenged society. From a chicken farm in New Jersey to becoming one of the music icons of the ‘60s, singer/songwriter Ian made her mark over the decades as both a Civil Rights and a gay activist. She recorded her first song at 13. At 16, Ian’s legendary song “Society’s Child”, about an interracial relationship, broke the charts. The film includes interviews with singers, music professionals, and with Ian herself – as well as footage of many of her famous songs.
