"Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone" directed by Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler
narrated by Laurence Fishburne, featuring Fishbone, Flea, Ice-T, Gwen Stefani, Perry Farrell, Bob
Forrest, Branford Marsalis, and George Clinton.

From the shifting fault lines of Hollywood fantasies and the economic and racial tensions of Reagan's America, Fishbone rose to become one of the most original bands of the last 25 years. With a blistering combination of punk and funk they demolished the walls of genre and
challenged the racial stereotypes and political order of the music industry and the nation. EVERYDAY SUNSHINE is a story about music, history, fear, courage and funking on the one.

At the heart of Fishbone's story is lead singer Angelo Moore and bassist Norwood Fisher who show how they keep the band rolling, out of pride, desperation and love for their art. To overcome money woes, family strife, and the strain of being aging Punk rockers on the road, Norwood and Angelo are challenged to re-invent themselves in the face of dysfunction and ghosts from a painful past.

Laurence Fishburne narrates EVERYDAY SUNSHINE, an entertaining cinematic journey into the personal lives of this unique Black rock band, an untold story of fiercely individual artists in their quest to reclaim their musical legacy while debunking the myths of young Black men from urban America. Highlighting the parallel journeys of a band and their city, EVERYDAY SUNSHINE explores the personal and cultural forces that gave rise to California's legendary Black punk sons that continue to defy categories and expectations.
