Keith Richards returned to the Toronto International Film Festival for a second straight year on Friday, joining band mate Ronnie Wood at the premiere of a documentary of their recent Latin America tour that culminated in an historic Cuban concert.
The film 'The Rolling Stones Olé Olé Olé! : A Trip Across Latin America' goes behind the scenes with the veteran rock band as they play across the region for the first time in 10 years, chronicling their engagement with impassioned fans in a range of countries where their music was once banned or stifled.
"It's strange, maybe that's some of the attraction," Richards said on the red carpet ahead of the screening. "I guess that's what happens when you try to suppress something, certain things become obviously stronger."

At one point they are forced to reschedule the concert after US President Barack Obama announced his own three-day visit after decades of hostility between the former Cold War foes.

"That's a tough one," Richards said when asked where the Stones might go next in the service of rock and roll diplomacy.
Richards was at the Toronto film festival last year to promote a film about his solo album 'Crosseyed Heart' that also studied the influence of blues, country and even reggae on his music.
