PATTI SMITH is a national treasure. Though best known for her contributions as a musician, Patti is also a distinguished visual artist, poet, and social activist whose efforts have had a profound influence on contemporary American culture. In 1996 she met photographer Steven Sebring at a shoot and Steven proposed documenting Patti’s tour with Bob Dylan set to begin that same year. Patti agreed and the two began a collaboration that would eventually evolve into an intense examination and celebration of Patti’s exceptional life through film.
