BFF24 The Stones and Brian Jones
BFF24 The Stones and Brian Jones
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Renowned documentarian Nick Broomfield uncovers the true story of Brian Jones, the creative force and heartbreaker behind what would become the world’s greatest rock band The Rolling Stones. Broomfield first encountered Jones at age 14, only for the musical genius and founder of The Stones to die six years later, with his significance gradually fading from history.
Through interviews and previously unseen footage, Broomfield sheds light on Jones’ life, from his wild performances to his early, more private moments. Highlights include interviews with the cool and collected Bill Wyman along with Brian’s former girlfriends, who share stories of his tumultuous relationships. Broomfield explores Jones' unstable home life, rivalry within the band, and the profound influence of the 1960s' sexual, fashion, societal, and musical revolutions. This documentary provides a deeper understanding of Jones' legacy and his pivotal role in shaping the band's early sound and spirit.
