Musicians Jamie Catto (Faithless) and Duncan Bridgeman travel to more than 25 locations across 20 countries, filming interviews and musical sessions with a mix of artists, writers, and thinkers, then cutting the footage together with music, spoken word, and rhythm tracks built from what they recorded on the road. The interview list runs from novelist Kurt Vonnegut and actor Dennis Hopper to Ram Dass, Tom Robbins, Anita Roddick, and musicians Brian Eno, Michael Stipe, Robbie Williams, Neneh Cherry, Stewart Copeland, Baaba Maal, and Speech of Arrested Development. Rather than structuring the film around a single argument or timeline, Catto and Bridgeman splice these voices into songs and sequences that jump between continents, letting a Senegalese musician's answer sit next to a British pop star's or an American novelist's on the same question. The project grew out of a 21st-century collaborative music venture the pair started, and the film is effectively that venture's visual half: a record of what happened when they pointed a camera and a microphone at people from very different cultures and asked them the same handful of questions about life and meaning.
