“We want to share what we’re learned about the Iraqi people over the past year,” and that is the true essence of this film. Donning bulletproof vests and flanked by guides, the pair tell a human story of four well-spoken men in their early twenties who just want to rock out. They live for the day when they can grow their hair long. When their practice space is destroyed by a missile, one by one they escape to Syria, where the directors meet up with them again.

Read the whole thing, over at Rolling Stone. You’re going to want to scroll down about half way. The boys also have a website where you can donate and a movie that is/has premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
