Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On

This documentary has some genuinely moving moments. Buffy is a wonderful songwriter, with a somewhat unusual voice. Her longtime activism is real, and it's important. She does not come off as pretentious in the least, and she is not afraid to express pride in her achievements. Throughout the film, she reveals her successes, hopes, and failures. The film highlights some of her popular songs, and touches upon the key contacts she made in New York City, when she was starting out. I enjoyed several of the interviews with other musicians or industry people who have been impressed with Sainte-Marie's body of work over the years, including Joni Mitchell. As always, Mitchell comes across as wise and authentic in her remarks.
