Background

This is the second documentary about Stone, Dutch director Alkema had made. The film looks at the hardships endured by Stone and alleges that this problem was caused by former manager Jerry Goldstein.[3] The film features interviews with Stone's family members and former bandmates and concludes with an interview between the film maker and Stone himself.[4]

In an interview with the San Francisco Bay View, Alkema said that this project had changed his view on the barriers between black and white as he was quite naïve in thinking they didn't exist.[5]

Prior to this film, Alkema had made a documentary Dance to the Music which was also about Stone. It was released in 2008.[6][7]

In 2010 the film won the audience award at Biografilm Festival in Bologna Italy.
