Studios and tours are shown. Archive footage comes in between. The narrator is the skateboarder Tony Hawk. The documentary maps out the music of a decade. Tim Armstrong and Joey Cape speak in the ninety minute documentary. It is an American and Australian co-production Jai Al-Attas finished in 2009.
