Well worth a watch for those on here of a certain age who grew up in those times.

I found it very interesting and informative as well as being really sad

Is this new, or the one that has been around since May 23?

I believe it is a 2023 documentary. I just found it fascinating and incredibly sad, especially the need for his father’s approval, which was not forthcoming although his final letter was very moving. Jagger and Richards don’t come out of it well but I loved Wyman’s contributions. He definitely “got” Brian.

Some great old footage of the early days where it seems most shows ended with a riot of sorts

It's by Nick Broomfield, one of my favourite documentary film makers and the daddy of Lois Theroux's style. His masterpiece was about Eugène Terre'Blanche. The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's wife.

I’ve seen it and it’s a very good documentary.

Even if you aren’t of a certain age, it’s worth seeing it.
