The documentary is a fascinating account about one of the most controversial independent films ever made.

Featuring never-before-released 16mm color film footage of the afternoon performances—mixed in 5.1 surround sound—the film presents interviews with firsthand participants and key players such as Billy Cox, Eddie Kramer, Warner Bros. executives, and several Rainbow Bridge cast members, as well as its director Chuck Wein.
