The Stones And Brian Jones

Nick Broomfield, as a schoolboy aged 14, by chance met Brian Jones, founder and creative genius of the Rolling Stones, on a train. Brian was at the height of his success, with the world at his feet, yet just six years later he would be dead.This unauthorised film looks at the relationships and rivalries within the Rolling Stones in those formative years. It also explores the iconoclastic freedom and exuberance of the 60s, a time of intergenerational conflict and sexual turmoil which reflects on where we are today.
