Joni Mitchell's career has been guided by an artistic integrity that is an example to all. Crossing musical boundaries with scorn, she has garnered critical acclaim whichever route she chooses to follow. From bands like Crosby Stills Nash and Young covering her early work through to working with be-bop legend Charles Mingus, to her most recent and still as highly acclaimed work; "Woman of Heart and Mind" documents the incredible achievements and influence that Joni Mitchell has had against all the odds in this ever more conformist world. With over 40 archive musical excerpts and interviews with collaborators including David Crosby, James Taylor and Herbie Hancock, plus archive and contemporary interviews with Joni herself, this film tells for the first time the full remarkable story of a performer and songwriter who clearly justifies her iconic status.
