Summary
Directed by Oscar-winner Alex Gibney and Emmy-winner Blair Foster, and narrated by Jeff Daniels, Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge chronicles the last 50 years of American music, politics and popular culture. This special documentary offers the unique perspective of a celebrated magazine that always understood that rock 'n' roll was more than just music: it was a cultural force that helped shape America and defined generations. An exhilarating visual and musical experience of the magazine's history, the film features performances by a dazzling array of artists, including The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, The Sex Pistols, The Clash and Ice-T, and music from some of the cultural icons it heralded, including Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Fleetwood Mac and Chance the Rapper.
