The documentary followed the rap group for a year (in 1998), from rehearsals at the Pee Wee studio in Aubervilliers, the beginning of their tour in La Réunion, through Lorient, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nancy, to the Zénith in Paris. The documentary also explores Joeystarr's legal troubles, life within the group, issues with the media, ... In cross-cut and intimate interviews, Joeystarr and Kool Shen reflect on the significant events of this entire journey. They discuss their shared experiences, their "couple life," the emergence of their collectives, B.O.S.S. (the start of the Skyboss show on Skyrock) and IV My People, and the possible future or the end of NTM.

Reviews
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
