INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA
From longtime In-Edit favorite Wes Orshoski (Lemmy, The Damned: Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead) comes a raw and intimate portrait of Paul Di’Anno, Iron Maiden’s first official frontman between 1978 and 1981. A charismatic and essential figure in the band’s early years, Di’Anno experienced both the heights of rock stardom and the shadows of excess. The film traces his journey from those formative days to his more recent battle to regain mobility, emotional balance, and artistic dignity. Balancing determination and despair, triumphs and downfalls, it offers a deeply human portrait of the singer who, with tracks like “Wrathchild”, “Prowler” and “Running Free”, left an indelible mark on heavy metal history.
