The upcoming Ronnie James Dio documentary, “Dio: Dreamers Never Die,” is officially set to receive its world premiere at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. That event will take place in Austin, Texas on March 11-20.
Blabbermouth shared the following information on the film:
“‘Dio: Dreamers Never Die’ is the first documentary about Dio to be fully authorized by the artist’s estate. According to the film’s official description, it ‘delves deep into his incredible rise from ’50s doo-wop crooner to his early classic rock days in Ritchie Blackmore’s RAINBOW, to replacing the iconic lead singer Ozzy Osbourne in BLACK SABBATH, to finally cement his legend with DIO. Ronnie’s biography is completely unique to the tired sex, drugs and rock and roll clichés. The film is about perseverance, dreams and the power to believe in yourself.’
‘Dio: Dreamers Never Die’ screenings:
* Paramount Theatre on March 17, 2022 at 4:00 p.m.
* Online only on March 18, 2022 at 9:00 a.m.
‘Dio: Dreamers Never Die’ was financed solely by BMG and was helmed by Don Argott and Demian Fenton (“Framing John DeLorean”, “Believer”, “Last Days Here”), produced by Don Argott and Sheena Joyce for 9.14 Pictures, and executive produced by Wendy Dio, wife and longtime manager of Ronnie James Dio, for Niji Productions and Kathy Rivkin Daum for BMG.
Ronnie James Dio’s story transcends the standard rock documentary. Set against the backdrop of Dio’s autobiography — half finished by Ronnie before his untimely death from stomach cancer in 2010 — the film chronicles the inspiring journey of his life, love, and storied career. Whether playing sold-out stadiums or battling illness, his powerful voice and gentle heart have had a profound influence on his family, friends, and fans around the world.”
