Ben Smallwood, the creative director of Iron Maiden, has spoken about his relationship with the band and their new film, Burning Ambition.

In an interview with Classic Rock, Smallwood reflects on how his life as the son of manager Rod Smallwood influenced his career in the music industry.

He recalls spending time on the road with the band when he was born in 1992, the same year that Fear Of The Dark came out.

However, his life took a different trajectory, and he eventually reconnected with Iron Maiden to work on Burning Ambition.

The film showcases the band's history through exclusive access to their archives.

Smallwood reveals how fans from all around the world contributed to the narrative of the documentary, providing emotion, soul, and humanity to the story.

The film also features interviews with prominent admirers such as Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, and Chuck D.

Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition charts five decades of one of the most iconic journeys in music history.

The documentary is now showing in theaters on May 7 for a limited time only.
