From award-winning director, James Rogan, Freddie Mercury: The Final Act charts the extraordinary final chapter of Freddie Mercury's life and how, after his death from AIDS, his bandmates from Queen staged one of the biggest tribute concerts in history. The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium celebrated Freddie’s life and challenged the prejudices around HIV/AIDS. Featuring the first major interview with Kashmira Bulsara, Freddie’s sister, the stars on stage the day of the concert and those away from the spotlight who nursed the dying; we see how one of the greatest showmen in entertainment history left the stage too soon, and whose legacy was not just the extraordinary music he created with Queen but also changing attitudes about the AIDS pandemic.
