This doc tells a bitter-sweet story we should all hear. And see. Whether we like heavy metal or not. It’s both simple and extraordinary, warm-hearted and chilling, always mesmerizing. Acrassicauda is the band’s name ("Cauda" is a desert scorpion = “A crass Scorpion"). The four band member and friends are irrepressible. Their collective spirit, though beaten down by the cruelties of war, remains their greatest repository of hope against all odds. We get to hear from real people who live the war, one, as a band mate states, we can “turn off” from the luxury and peace of out American homes. This is a must see. I hope VIBE, the film’s producer/underwriter, will follow up in 2009/10! I love these people.
