One Man's Quest to Re-Unite the Wu-Tang Clan
"Thrilling . . . electrifying, occasionally terrifying. . . [belongs in] the pantheon of classic concert docs. . . this nerve-racking knockout of a film pays testament to the passion of the Tang."
-
Nathan Lee, VILLAGE VOICE
"An edge-of-your-seat cliffhanger!"
-
Jay Carr, AM NY
"A paean to indie
ingenuity . . . appealing to devotees and the uninitiated
alike."
- VARIETY
"Wait-to-pee
entertaining."
-
Cinematical
"A GIMME SHELTER-like conclusion
that keeps you on the edge of your seat."

FILMMAKER Magazine
A
definitive document of contemporary Hip Hop culture, Rock The Bells is
the story of the 2004 Rock The Bells festival in San Bernardino,
California, which featured the last ever performance of all founding
members of the Wu Tang Clan.
Personifying the fierce independence and Do-It-Yourself spirit of the
Hip Hop generation, entrepreneur Chang Weisberg puts everything (his
reputation, his sanity, his family, his mortgage) on the line for his
impossible dream of reuniting genre superstars and notorious no-shows
The Wu-Tang Clan.
Furiously paced and rich with multiple narratives, Rock The Bells
follows Weisberg and his guerilla production team as they fight for the
arrival of all nine Wu-Tang members, battle broken equipment and
overwhelmed security, attempt to control the riotous crowd in the
over-heated, overcrowded venue and deliver the history-making show they
have promised.
The film also features performances by Redman, Dilated Peoples, MC
Supernatural, Sage Francis, Eyedea + Abilities, Chali 2na and DJ
NuMark. ROCK THE BELLS is directed and produced by Casey Suchan and
Denis Henry Hennelly, the team behind Hip Hop documentary hits Beef,
Beef 2, Thug Angel, and The Freshest Kids.
