This documentary is about Laibach's 2004 tour. Although some may feel that this documentary is very anti-American, I actually found it to be full of love and hope for the intelligent people of this country. Much of the footage is meant to showcase the shallow, consumerist, anti-intellectual and God-fearing mentality that currently rules this country, but this is juxtaposed against many interviews with very intelligent and articulate people that offer meaningful discussion of Laibach's art and valid critiques of our current administration and the numbing effect of our popular culture. The very fact that Laibach, in this documentary, gives so much room for these people to voice their opinions and express their concerns shows their compassion. They don't hate America, they just want to promote discussoin and to make people think.

For the fans, there are priceless Laibach moments in this documentary. As can be expected, the Laibach crew never "steps out of character" in this documentrary; there is no interaction with fans or drunken tomfoolery to witness. But there are moments when you get a glimpse of them that you would otherwise never see, such as one moment when the lead singer, decked out in full Laibach regalia, accepts a Christian pamphlet from a lady trying to save his soul. One of the most intimate moments is a brief exchange between the band and feminist musician/opening act Bonfire Madigan; it's a moment where you get to see a lot of mutual respect and cameraderie between the seemingly very-different musicians.

Another wonderful aspect of this documentary is the diversity of the fans that are interviewed. On one end, there was an African-American California hippie with long white dreads, and the other end there was a bald, black-clad white supremacist from Texas. And, of course, you had everythng in between! Fan reactions were as diverse as the fans themselves, and ranged from deep political reverie to orgasmic elation.

As far as eye and ear candy goes, there's plenty of both. An entire concert is also included on the DVD, featuring some very unusual remixes. In particular, "Du Bis Unser" and "Opus Dei" receive very fresh treatments, and the choreography is incredible. I saw their show live when they did this tour, and when I showed this DVD to a friend who could not make it to the show, I felt like the spirit of that night was captured on this DVD.

A great DVD for any Laibach fan, whether you've been a fan for them for one year or for 20!
