2011. The people of Benghazi revolt against the brutal regime of Moammar Gaddafi. Amidst the bloody revolution, a music scene erupts out of the restive city. Banned for over 25 years on pain of death, western style heavy metal, R&B, hip hop, and even country, gives voice to the once silent population. We witness a counter-culture explode on the front line, where guitars line up alongside AK47's as a symbol of defiance in the fight against tyranny.
But once freedom is won, the voices go silent and a new struggle emerges to keep control of the country in the aftermath. Libya teeters on the brink of chaos as four Americans, including a US Ambassador are murdered in a brazen attack. Will the music and the freedom it represents thrive once again, or will it remain mired in Post Revolutionary Blues?
