A collaboration between filmmaker Jem Cohen and the Washington D.C band Fugazi, the project covers the ten-year period from the band's inception in 1987 to 1997. Far from a traditional documentary, the project is a musical document: a portrait of musicians at work.

In addition to the full film, the DVD contains two extra short movies by Jem Cohen with Fugazi soundtracks (LITTLE FLAGS and GLUEMAN) as well as three additional unabridged live songs from three different concerts (WAITING ROOM, TURNOVER, and LONG DIVISION).
