She launched the career of the Chambers Brothers and helped </div><div>shape Jane Fonda’s politics, raising a compelling question: Why isn’t Barbara Dane a household name? Louis </div><div>Armstrong understood and said, “Did you get that chick? She’s a gasser!” (TIME)</div><div><br></div><div> The film chronicles a trailblazing woman who chose conscience over fame, transforming setbacks into opportunities and </div><div>forging her own path through art. With singular confidence, Dane emanated the people-powered connectivity of folk, the </div><div>defiance of blues, and the elemental cool of jazz - using music as a force for change and earning a four-inch FBI file </div><div>along the way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <b> Dayna Kurtz - Women’s Rebel Voices Film and Music Guest Artist </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Named Female Songwriter of the Year by the National Academy of Songwriters </div><div> </div><div>"Kurtz tilts her head back at an angle and spins melodic, earthbound poetry that sets loose demons only to dismiss </div><div>them into the ether...Kurtz makes ordinary misery voluptuous, and sings other people's songs as if she knows better </div><div>than their authors what those songs are about." — Judith Lewis LA WEEKLY </div><div><br></div><div>Protesta Productions is proud to collaborate with the Brooklyn artist, Dayna Kurtz, as part of our WOMEN’S REBEL </div><div>VOICES FILM AND MUSIC TOUR.
