OFFICIAL RONNIE JAMES DIO DOCUMENTARY “DIO: DREAMERS NEVER DIE” 

RELEASED WORLDWIDE SEPTEMBER 29TH: ZOOM SPECIAL EVENT WITH WENDY DIO ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS!

 “A good documentary keeps the viewer locked into every moment and leaves them disappointed when it finally ends. Dio: Dreamers Never Die is not a good documentary.

It is a great one.”

Dreamers Never Die” delves deep into the singer’s incredible rise from a ‘50s doo-wop crooner to his early rock days in Elf and Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, to replacing Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, and finally cementing his rock star status with his own band, DIO. The film incorporates never-before-seen footage and personal photos, as well as offering intimate scenes with his closest peers, family, and friends, among them Wendy Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Glenn Hughes, Vinny Appice, Lita Ford, Rob Halford, Sebastian Bach, Eddie Trunk, and Jack Black, as they bring viewers inside the life of one of rock and roll’s true heroes and most beloved figures.  

Famous for popularizing the ‘devil horns’ hand gesture that is now synonymous with hard rock and heavy metal music, Dio was known for not wavering in his pursuit of his rock and roll dreams and continues to influence a new generation of music artists.  His fans the world over remember him not only for his massive talent, but for his kindness, resulting in millions of dollars raised for cancer research in his memory via the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.
