[edit] Synopsis
A documentary film by director Ashley Greyson which looks at Platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artists HANSON and their three-year struggle with their record label, Island/Def Jam. With the music industry in the aftermath of corporate mergers, deregulated radio, and an uncertain future, Hanson is faced with the challenge of making a new album while dealing with an endless array of obstacles. Throughout their trial and tribulations, they must learn to cope with an insatiable record label executive, incompatible producers and ultimately with each other. Can they strike a balance between art, commerce, and independence. The choices they face will test whether or not they are strong enough.
