The 30-minute documentary by Rebecca Glotfelty includes interviews with Mike, Ingemar, Rick and Lisa as they reflect on the band's metamorphosis from a sea-shanty quartet to a multifaceted group performing original folk, jazz, acoustic rock, Celtic and Benzonian ballads. The program includes footage from the band's early years and highlights from their 2003 performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland Through these interviews, clips and current video footage, the viewer discovers the secret to the bands longevity, almost unheard of in the music world.
