Keith Richards doc to debut on Netflix

Streaming service Netflix has won the worldwide premiere of Morgan Neville’s new documentary about Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

Keith Richards: Under the Influence will debut on Netflix on September 18. The doc visits the places and people that influenced Richards’ life as a musician.

“There’s no-one who could bring this unprecedented look into the musical influences of Keith Richards to life as distinctively as Morgan Neville,” said Lisa Nishimura, Netflix’s VP of original documentary programming. “Our viewers around the world are going to love the rare moments he has captured.”

Filmmaker Neville is also behind 2014 Academy Award-winning doc Twenty Feet From Stardom. He produces Under the Influence along with Justin Wilkes (What Happened Miss Simone?) and Jane Rose (Crossfire Hurricane).
