Movie - JANIS IAN: BREAKING SILENCE (Singer Island)

Come enjoy a movie and interesting conversation with friendly women!
……….
SYNOPSIS ….. In 1965, 14-year-old singer-songwriter Janis Ian from New Jersey wrote “Society’s Child” about an interracial relationship. Recorded and released a year later, the song launched her career, but its subject matter ignited controversy, even resulting in death threats. The fallout plunged Ian into an emotional tailspin – and yet a few years later she emerged from the ashes with an even bigger hit, “At Seventeen.” Over six decades, Janis Ian gained 10 Grammy nominations in eight different categories; saw her song “Stars” recorded by such luminaries as Nina Simone and Cher; and overcame homophobia, misogyny, and a life-threatening illness to produce an indelible body of work that continues to draw audiences around the globe.
