The documentary covers two fans’ discovery of Di’Anno during low point late in his life, as they helped him regain his health and relaunch his career. Di’Anno, who passed away in 2024 after a series of health issues, only meeting his Iron Maiden replacement Bruce Dickinson mere months before his passing. The Iron Maiden documentary features appearances by Metallica’s James Hetfield, KISS’ Gene Simmons and Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris, as well as members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill, and Sepultura.
While talking about the documentary, director Wes Orchoski said: “Paul was waiting for surgeries that doctors in the UK would not greenlight. He was in an incredibly dark place. But once he got to Croatia, fans and doctors gave him the hope he was desperately searching for. It was beautiful to witness. I wanted to make a film that was unlike any rock doc you’ve ever seen. And in the end, I think we got there.”
