In 1965, a 14-year-old Janis Ian from New Jersey wrote "Society's Child," a song that sparked controversy over interracial love and catapulted her to fame, but also led to death threats. Despite the backlash, Ian emerged with an even bigger hit in 1970 with "At Seventeen." This documentary film explores Ian's remarkable six-decade career, from early success to overcoming homophobia, misogyny, and a life-threatening illness, featuring interviews with music icons like Joan Baez, Jean Smart, and Lily Tomlin.
