Raised on the wrong side of the tracks, young Jimi Hendrix knew that his music was going to be his ticket to greatness. Discovered by an unscrupulous manager (Zane) and put on an exhausting world tour, Hendrix was pushed to the limit but it paid off. Stunning audiences at Monterey and Woodstock, this ground-breaking artist was clearly on his way up. Until fame led him into a dark haze of drugs and alcohol a course that would fatally end his euphoric rise to the top. (official distributor synopsis)
