Set against the electrifying backdrop of the 1960s Detroit rock scene, Raw Power: The Dave Alexander Story chronicles the meteoric rise and tragic fall of David Michael Alexander, the unsung architect of proto-punk and original bassist of The Stooges. From his humble beginnings in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to the chaos of fame alongside Iggy Pop, Ron, and Scott Asheton, this biopic dives into the tumultuous world of a revolutionary band that redefined rock and roll. Dave was not just a bassist—he was the heart of The Stooges’ early sound, crafting raw, unforgettable grooves that became the foundation of punk. Through never-before-seen insights, Raw Power explores his genius, his struggles with addiction, and his untimely departure from the band. It’s a story of friendship, betrayal, redemption, and the weight of being a pioneer in a world unprepared for your brilliance. Featuring an iconic soundtrack and intimate performances, Raw Power paints a poignant portrait of a man who lived fast, loved deeply, and left a lasting legacy. His induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, long after his death, is a testament to the enduring influence of his music. This is the story of a legend who never sought the spotlight but left a shadow over an entire genre—a story of raw talent, raw pain, and raw power.
