Jimi: All Is By My Side Trailer

Jimi Hendrix started earning money from his musical career as a simple backing guitarist at the Cheetah Club in New York City. Soon enough though, he was brought to England by former Animals member Chas Chandler where within a year he blew up into the legend that everyone sees today; the man who spectacularly set his guitar alight on stage at the Monterey Pop Festival. Within that year he began dating Kathy Etchingham, who stuck by him throughout his rise to fame despite the immense pressure it put on their relationship as he struggled to make it as the world's greatest guitarist. His journey was tough for everyone around him, but unbeknownst to him, it was only going to get tougher as he decided to break America too.

'Jimi: All Is By My Side' is the dramatic biopic focusing on Jimi Hendrix's sensational rise to fame as he hit the UK in 1966. It deals with his relationships - both professional and personal - and stars Outkast's Andre Benjamin (Andre 3000) as the legend himself. The movie has been directed and written by Oscar winner John Ridley ('12 Years a Slave', 'Red Tails', 'Cold Around the Heart') and it is set to be released on August 8th 2014.
