Chuck Berry tells the full story of the "Granddaddy of Rock & Roll." In this highly-anticipated, official, and fully-authorized feature documentary, the absolute instigator of rock and roll – Chuck Berry – is truly revealed with exclusive access to his family, friends, famous fans and the music icons he inspired. Despite his iconic status, and reverence for his talent by rock’s heroes John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, Steve Van Zandt, Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, all featured, Chuck Berry was at heart, a family man. He was a prolific craftsman of words and chords; an undisputed and stunning combination of talent and charisma. Chuck Berry is directed by veteran music industry producer / filmmaker Jon Brewer, director of many music docs previously including Jimi Hendrix: The Guitar Hero, B.B. King: The Life of Riley, Nat King Cole: Afraid of the Dark, Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story, The Most Dangerous Band in the World, and B.B. King: On the Road. It opened in a few European countries last year. MVD Entertainment Group will release the Chuck Berry doc in select theaters + on VOD coming up sometime soon. Interested?
