Stream the award-winning documentary Grace Jones: Bloodlight And Bami

This electrifying journey through the public and private worlds of pop culture mega-icon Grace Jones contrasts musical sequences with intimate personal footage, all the while brimming with Jones's bold aesthetic. A larger-than-life entertainer, an androgynous glam-pop diva, an unpredictable media presence – Grace Jones is all these things and more. For five years, the music and fashion icon opened her life to filmmaker Sophie Fiennes. The documentary goes beyond the traditional music biography, offering a portrait as stylish and unconventional as its subject.
