About this film

Florida Premiere. This intimate documentary reveals the story of a fierce rock ‘n’ roller, actress, muse to Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and mother who rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. Using the words of her unpublished memoir, Anita brings us deep into her world, with the help of a supporting cast that includes her family – Marlon, Angela, their father Richards, Marianne Faithfull and others drawn to her unique appeal. Never-seen-before home movies and family photographs show life with the Rolling Stones: this is a bittersweet tale of adventure and misadventure. From the set of Barbarella to the Swiss Alps to New York's Lower East Side, Anita Pallenberg was a woman ahead of her time.
