Candid and conversational, if not exactly comprehensive, this engaging biographical rock-doc about the legendary Canadian troubadour features great footage from all six decades of his career and puts into context the critical role he played in the folk-rock explosion of the ‘60s, how he helped define his country’s identity, and why his distinctive songs still resonate.
