From Blues to Punk, the best documentaries of 2017
Among the various year-end lists, the American magazine Rolling Stone released a slightly different one: the best music documentaries released in 2017, according to its team.
In it, the publication listed films that tell the story of big names in music such as Grateful Dead and Avett Brothers, and the history of the magazine itself, which has just celebrated 50 years in the market.
The magazine did not present the documentaries in any specific order, highlighting only the feature film by Jaan Wenner, its founder.
