Synopsis

Ignited by punk's invasion of the Great Plains, America's gawkiest and greatest lost rock band (The Embarrassment) battles conformity in Reagan-era Kansas. Their independence and refusal to sell out sparked tension within the group and kept mainstream success at bay. This documentary shows how the Embarrassment rose out of nowhere to become a post-punk legend that's almost been forgotten.
