The Brian Epstein Story traces the rise and fall of the man behind the biggest cultural revolution of our times: The Beatles. As their manager, Brian Epstein's early life was fraught with failures. By 1963, despite his internal struggle around his homosexuality and his Jewish identity, he became the most successful pop manager in history, with clients like The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas. Director Anthony Wall's film investigates the life and mind of one of the greatest agents of 60's change and one of its first tragedies. Chock full of Beatle concert footage, the film features interviews with Paul McCartney, Marianne Faithfull, Gerry Marsden, Billy J. Kramer, George Martin and readings from Epstein's journal by rising star, Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley).
