OutKast’s André Benjamin stars as Jimi Hendrix in this revealing biopic from Academy Award-winning writer-director John Ridley (‘12 Years A Slave’ screenplay).
Covering a year in Hendrix’s life from 1966-67, from being an unknown backup guitarist playing New York’s Cheetah Club to making his mark in London’s music scene up until his Monterey Pop Festival triumph, the film presents an intimate portrait of a sensitive young musician on the verge of becoming a rock legend.
Featuring a mesmerising central performance, reincarnating Hendrix in stunning detail, this untold story of one of the greatest musicians that ever lived is a must-see for rock fans everywhere.
