What happens

The Stones and Brian Jones is a 2023 British documentary film directed by Nick Broomfield about Brian Jones, a founding member of the Rolling Stones. The film examines Jones's role in forming the band, his musical contribution, his relationships, his marginalization as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards became the group's songwriting focus, and his death in 1969. The documentary aired on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in May 2023 and was released in the United States by Magnolia Pictures later that year. Reviews were generally positive and emphasized Broomfield's use of interviews with Jones's former partners and associates, as well as the film's argument that Jones's upbringing and emotional isolation shaped his decline.
