A documentary about New York band Blondie, from their early beginnings in Bowery clubs like CBGBs alongside other up and coming bands like The Ramones, Patti Smith & Talking Heads.

Lots of interviews with band members, past and present, and their friends and contemporaries. Lots of clips of them performing through the years.
