Carry It On

About This Movie

So, 'Carry It On' is this fascinating documentary that really immerses you in the emotional and political landscape of the late 60s. It’s all about Joan Baez and her then-husband David Harris, a student who got deeply involved in the draft resistance. The film has this raw, unfiltered vibe, capturing the spirit of activism and the personal stakes of the era. The pacing can feel a bit meandering, but that's part of its charm, letting you soak in the atmosphere. You get to see not just the music, but the people and their struggles too. It’s distinctive in how it blends personal narrative with the broader societal issues of the time.

This film is not the easiest to find on physical media, with most collectors aware of its limited releases. It's been released on VHS and DVD, but those versions are often sought after due to their scarcity. Collectors show interest, especially for its historical context and the insights it provides into the counterculture movement of that time.
