Few musicians have a more extraordinary story than James Blunt. The soldier-turned-singer has one of the most inspiring trajectories in the history of music.
Filmed on the road during his 2022 aptly named Greatest Hit Tour, director Chris Atkins is given an access-all-areas pass to follow Blunt across Europe. Delving into James’ unique backstory, from witnessing the genocide of the Kosovo War, recording the biggest-selling album of the noughties, enduring the harsh backlash that followed his meteoric success, and then tweeting his way back to becoming a national treasure, this is an intimate portrait of James Blunt, as never seen before.
Landing lovingly somewhere between Spinal Tap and Alan Partridge, James Blunt: One Brit Wonder is a behind-the-scenes, brutally honest story of a painfully self-aware, endlessly touring musician, for whom persistence eventually prevails.
