Fishbone is one of the great treasures of the American music scene. It is cliché to state that they are a band that transform boundaries and genres.What more can I say? I love this band and I love this movie (so much in fact, I saw it twice on the same weekend!). However, you don't need to be a Fishbone fan to appreciate this documentary. This is a must see for anyone interested in music, bands, or West Coast culture in general.It is a rare thing that true originators get any amount of respect and recognition that they should while they are around to appreciate it. Fishbone are a force to be reckoned with and this movie capitalizes on insight to band members and history that few people normally get a chance to see into.Fishbone is still, to this day, the best live band in the world. Long live Fishbone, and thank you, thank you, thank you for this doc.

Fans will appreciate the look inside the band, but even those outside the Fishbone community will enjoy this well-crafted story. Great vintage footage and insightful current interviews that illustrates the band's current struggles. Sure, there's an element of love note to the band in this - I'm not sure a documentary film crew would have tackled such an eclectic topic, even in the post-"Behind the Music" world. But Fishbone's music and struggle deserves to live on, and this documentary takes it all in and presents an excellent package.I caught this film at a film festival, so you're going to have to look and keep in touch with the filmmakers to find out where you can catch this.

Someone said this is a must see film for the fans of the band. I respectfully disagree. It is a must see film, period. I saw it during SXSW and I didn't know anything about the band (shame on me!) and I LOVED the movie. The characters are engaging, the story develops as if it was a narrative film, and of course the music is great. Racial issues are presented in a very refreshing tone. It has a great sense of humor that reflects the band's sense of humor and critique. Summing it up: it is a fun, moving and informative film. And then yes, I became a fan of the band. If you have a chance, don't miss it. You will be glad you didn't.

Fishbone has been apart of me since the late 80's. Started when my cousin put in a tape for me. The album was called "In Your Face". I was hooked. By "Truth and Soul" I became part of the Family and there was no turning back. Every concert to Detroit I was there. With or without a date. This band rocks. You hear Fishbone it stirs something inside you, you may not be able to put your finger on it, its there, in your Face. This film enriched the Fishbone Family in more ways than there is space to write. If you are new to the "Family", born to the "Family" (like my kids), or married to the family;) it really don't matter this film is a must see, must have. Gives insight to the magic behind the music. Always Still Stuck in my heart,Kris
