Documentary film Shine a Light, the latest from esteemed director Martin Scorsese, centers around two 2006 Rolling Stones concerts at New York City's famed Beacon Theatre during the band's "A Bigger Bang" tour.

The resulting scenes are interspersed with historical news clips, classic interviews, and archived Rolling Stones footage. Shine a Light premiered at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival and opens worldwide on April 4th, 2008, in both traditional cinemas and select IMAX theaters.
