Introduction
Netflix has officially announced an electrically charged six-part limited documentary series titled “THE VOICE OF THE VALLEYS,” directed by acclaimed filmmaker Dexter Fletcher (Rocketman). This masterpiece offers an unfiltered and deeply revealing look into the life of Sir Tom Jones — the charisma, the raw power, and the thunderous voice behind one of the most enduring careers in entertainment history.
Already generating massive industry buzz, the series has officially secured a nomination for Best Documentary Series at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, a testament to its cinematic energy and storytelling depth.
With a production budget of $65 million, the series blends never-before-seen archival footage from the Las Vegas golden era, candid backstage diaries, and cinematic recreations to unveil the man behind the superstar. Each episode unfolds like a rock anthem — tracing Tom’s journey from his working-class childhood in Pontypridd, South Wales, and his two-year battle with tuberculosis in isolation, to his explosion onto the swinging 60s scene, his deep friendship with Elvis Presley, and his miraculous reinventions that kept him at the top of the charts for over 60 years.
“This is not just a story about fame,” Sir Tom Jones says in his unmistakable, deep baritone. “It’s about survival, passion, and never forgetting the soil you came from — it’s about proving that as long as there is breath in your lungs, you have a song to sing.”
Filmed across the misty valleys of Wales, the neon-lit strip of Las Vegas, and major studios in London, THE VOICE OF THE VALLEYS is more than a music documentary — it is a portrait of masculine vulnerability, sheer determination, and the spirit of a man who roared his way into history, inspiring generations long after the final curtain falls.
