A Mighty Wind

2003 · 92 min

A gentle, affectionate mockumentary that ambles along with deadpan charm, letting you smile at earnest oddballs rather than laugh at them.

Tagline
Back together for the first time, again.
Overview
Three eclectic, never-quite-famous folk bands come together for the first time in decades following the death of their manager to put on an reunion concert in his honor, at the request of his son.
