An intimate portrait of musician, actor and activist Stevie Van Zandt

NEW PROFILE Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple Sunday, 9pm, Sky Documentaries

It’s not easy being sidekick to a rock icon like Bruce Springsteen, but as this candid documentary profile reveals, there’s much more to bandanna-wearing guitarist Steven Van Zandt than being The Boss’ right-hand man.

Running to almost three hours, this documentary traces Van Zandt’s roller coaster career, from his early days as a struggling musician to his stadium-filling world tours with Springsteen’s E Street Band, his starring role in The Sopranos and his work as a political activist.
