A thrash metal punk band, Heavy Load - three of whose members have learning disabilities - get enormous pleasure from playing live. This engaging doc follows them as they cut their first album and try and break out from safe 'disability' territory to gigging in pubs and success at festivals. Funny and insightful, this is a film about the search for happiness and how to destroy it by making a film about it!
