Le guitariste Brian Jones était l’un des fondateurs des Rolling Stones en 1962. En 1969, il a quitté le groupe et peu de temps après, il s’est noyé dans sa piscine. “The Stones and Brian Jones” met en lumière ces sept années tumultueuses.

Le documentaire explore, à travers des interviews révélatrices et des archives jamais dévoilées auparavant, le génie musical créatif de Jones, essentiel au succès des Rolling Stones, et révèle comment le fondateur de ce qui est devenu le plus grand groupe de rock’n’roll au monde, est resté dans l’ombre de l’histoire.
