“At the age of 14, future filmmaker Nick Broomfield (Kurt & Courtney, Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love) met Brian Jones by chance on a train. Brian was at the height of his success with the world at his feet – yet six years later he would be dead. Broomfield’s intimate and profoundly personal new documentary looks back at the relationships and rivalries within The Rolling Stones in those formative years. It explores the iconoclastic freedom and exuberance of the 1960s, a time of intergenerational conflict and sexual turmoil which reflects on where we are today. Featuring revealing interviews with all the main players, electrifying performance footage, and never-before-seen archival materials, The Stones and Brian Jones explores the creative musical genius of 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.” -BBC
