Directed by Oscar and Emmy winner Alex Gibney (Sinatra: All of Nothing at All) and co-produced by Mick Jagger, Mr. Dynamite: The Rise Of James Brown digs into the career of one of music and culture’s towering figures, using fresh interviews with band members and contemporaries, extraordinary historical interview footage, and rare archival.

Bonus features on the DVD and Blu-ray of the two-hour-long film, which premiered on HBO in October, 2014, include an essay by Mick Jagger, 27 minutes of additional interviews, commentary, photo gallery and additional Soul Train performances.
