Synopsis

Mick Wall's exploration of the short but influential life of Rock's greatest guitarist intersperses interviews and quotations with snapshots of Hendrix's life, from childhood in Seattle to world stardom. The non-linear narrative explores the musician's struggle to find his place in post-war America and then to handle his success in the drink and drug-fuelled scene of late 1960s London.
