This lively and loving documentary charts the turbulent history of the pioneering all-black rock band Fishbone. Formed in 1979 in South Central Los Angeles, Fishbone landed a major label record deal before graduating high school. After this early success, however, the band struggled for acceptance in a racially stratified music industry, while their unabashedly hybrid style has kept them proudly out of fashion for over three decades. Through frank interviews with the band, including eccentric co-founders Angelo Moore and Norwood Fisher, filmmakers Chris Metzler and Lev Anderson reveal the creative alchemy, the clash of egos, and the enduring friendships behind Fishbone’s storied career.
