DETAILED SYNOPSIS:
An insiders look at what it took to bring the Wu-Tang Clan together for their final performance with ODB. Join concert promoter Chang Weisberg behind the scenes as he embarks on a seemingly impossible mission to re-unite the legendary hip-hop act. The Wu-Tang Clan is notoriously difficult to get together, but Weisberg puts everything on the line (including his reputation and his house) to organize a massive, one-day hip hop music festival featuring all nine original Wu-Tang Clan members.

The day spins into nail-biting suspense as Chang and his Guerilla Promotions team try to secure the arrival of The Clan as riled fans, overwhelmed security guards, and an overcrowded, over heated venue combine to create an explosive environment that threatens to escalate into a full blown riot. An astounding line-up of hip-hop talent keeps the crowd at bay including pumping performances from Redman, Dilated Peoples, Chali 2Na and DJ NuMark of Jurassic 5, Sage Francis and Eyedea + Abilities. Rock The Bells is a fascinating documentary chronicling the exciting events that transpired in the making of a historical hip hop concert.
