Freddie Mercury was one of the most charismatic, complex and fascinating characters in British rock music. The story of Queen is much told, but this new documentary focuses on Freddie and the solo projects he worked on, outside of the band. Using extensive archive footage of interviews with Freddie as well as concerts, video shoots and personal material - much of it previously unseen - along with new interviews with friends and colleagues, a picture reveals the man behind the superstar image, The Great Pretender.
