"The double-backbone of this powerful documentary is the process of creating music for Artson’s album "A Brave Star" and a road trip to various music festivals. Along the journey of creating, recording, and performing the music, a trio of friends form tighter bonds with each other and with other musicians. Artson’s raps are positive and inspiring, drawing on his own life experiences, his Native American spiritual grounding, and his vision of an America which accepts, loves, nurtures, and unites all people. In the process he and his fellow musicians remind us that hip hop is an all-encompassing musical form which can put down deep roots and draw sustenance from any and all cultures."
