Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition

Fifty years ago, they started playing in the pubs of East London and gradually worked their way up to the world's biggest stages. They have remained on these stages to this day. The band Iron Maiden is rightfully one of the greatest legends of heavy metal with millions of fans around the world. The creators of the documentary Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition gained access to a huge amount of archive material, from which they created a film that is a must-see for everyone who loves them. The guides to the past and present of the band are the most qualified, i.e. its former and current members, but also famous fans such as actor Javier Bardem or Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Scott Ian (Anthrax) and others. But it wouldn't be a proper music documentary if it didn't also include a lot of music. Good, hard, metal. The film features most of the band's key songs, and the creators didn't forget about the band's famous mascot Eddie in original animated sequences. "Our film is about perseverance, above all. The perseverance with which the band refused to conform to changing musical trends, and despite this, a family of its fans grew, who found their identity and true friendships through Iron Maiden and its music," says the documentary's director Malcolm Venville.
