Synopsis
The Stone Roses defined a generation. Their eponymous 1989 debut album is widely recognised as one of the best ever made. It sold millions of copies and still inspires new music. The making of their second record and the spectacular break up that followed is the stuff of legend. Finally, in 2012, they are back. But the true story behind their rise and fall has never been told. Until now. Featuring over 100 interviews with the key figures, 'The Stone Roses: War and Peace' take us inside their world for the first time.
