Plot summary
Built from interviews and live performance footage, the documentary looks at Fishbone, the Los Angeles band that mixed punk and funk and pushed against the racial and political expectations of the music business. Its focus is the long partnership of founding members Norwood Fisher and Angelo Moore, who formed the group and work to hold it together. The film covers the band's background, its 1985 debut EP, and the years when wider success seemed close but did not arrive. Friends, colleagues, and other musicians add their accounts. Animated sequences in the style of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids tell how the band began.
