A Mighty Wind

Synopsis:

Folk music groupies unite! This film garnered a nomination for Best Music/ Original Song at the 2004 Academy® Awards and won Best Song Written for a Motion Picture at the 2004 Grammys®.

Starring and directed by Christopher Guest, this mockumentary tells the tale of a deceased producer's son (Balaban, The Majestic, Gosford Park, The Mexican), who wants to pay tribute to his father by staging a concert in his honor.

It's a retro reunion of sorts as '60s groups get together: the New Main Street Singers, the Folksmen--- Alan, Mark, Jerry, and the long-estranged duo Mitch (Levy, New York Minute, American Wedding) and Mickey (O' Hara, Orange County).

The film details the lives, apprehensions, and hopes of the performers as the date of the big concert draws near.
