the stones & brian jones"The Stones And Brian Jones" examines the musical creativity of Brian Jones, the secret to the band's success, through candid interviews with all the essential performers and previously unreleased archive.
As a schoolboy aged 14 Nick Broomfield - director of this film - met Brian Jones by chance, on a train.
Brian was at the height of his success, with the world at his feet, but just six years later he would be dead.
This film takes a look at the relationships and rivalries within The Rolling Stones in their formative years, exploring the iconoclastic freedom and exuberance of the 60s, a time of intergenerational conflict and sexual turmoil that reflects on the present day.
Featuring revealing interviews with all the main players and unseen archive released for the first time, this documentary explores the creative musical genius of Brian Jones, key to the success of the band, and uncovers how the founder of what became the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world was left behind in the shadows of history.
