JIMI HENDRIX • The Uncut Story • ©2004 Passport Intl. Productions
With blessings of Jimi's biological family and many of
his closest friends, Passport Intl. Productions brings the life of Jimi Hendrix
to light as never before. From his upbringing in Seattle to his final days in
London, JIMI HENDRIX: THE UNCUT STORY goes beyond all previously released
documentaries to explore the complete life-story behind the legendary artist.
Episode 1: 1942-1961 - The first part of this three-episode
series takes us through Jimi's life in Seattle, Washington where he spent
two-thirds of his twenty-seven years. Through the recollection of his closest
friends and family, we enter into the inner world of Jimi's childhood
upbringing. This is where we come to know the people and events that would
shape his love for music and define the extraordinary man he would become.
Episode 2: 1961 - 1967 - After Jimi's stint in the army, we join him
as a sideman on the Chitlin' Circuit playing behind some of the greatest names
in R&B. After following Jimi to New York, we head off to the UK where Jimi
Hendrix became the toast of swinging London virtually overnight. Hear directly
from the British rock stars and scenesters who witnessed Jimi's musical coup
d'état firsthand. Then follow the Jimi Hendrix Experience on their way to
becoming the hottest rock trio on the world stage.
Episode 3: 1967 - 1970 - Part three highlights the culmination of
Jimi's musical career. It was the peak of the counter-culture era and the world
was changing at an incredible pace. Jimi's music and lifestyle were no
exception. Here is where we follow Jimi to the height of his creative powers,
both in the studio and on the road - only to watch it all come crashing down
upon him. Through exclusive interviews, we get the facts behind Jimi's demise
and examine the events surrounding his controversial death. But more than that we come to know the spiritual message behind Jimi's work and celebrate the
final stage of his life in music.
