Synopsis

Rock The Bells is the story of the 2004 'Rock the Bells' festival in San Bernardino, California. Personifying the fierce independence and do-it-yourself spirit of the Hip Hop movement, festival producer Chang Weisberg puts everything on-the-line for his impossible dream of reuniting notorious no-shows The Wu-Tang Clan. The story follows Weisberg and his guerilla promotion team as they fight for the arrival of all nine members, battle broken equipment and overwhelmed security, attempt to control the riotous crowd in the over-heated, overcrowded venue and deliver the history-making show they have promised. The documentary also features performances by Redman, Dilated Peoples, MC Supernatural, Sage Francis, Eyedea + Abilities, Chali 2na and DJ NuMark.
