It is 11:11 minutes of experimental poetic filmmaking with a soundtrack by Masaya Fantasista ( Jazzy Sport) and Soy Sos .The film is full of layers of code, symbolism, political and spiritual references echoing , intermingling and reverbing in a visual dub mix.

The film opens at night in Uganda, East Africa with two members of IR :: Sankara Future Dub Resurgence: Ras Charles is doing meditation beside a roaring fire while Ras Isaacs holds a sign that says “Dub Is A State Of Mind.” Those words come from a dub youth named Soumil.
We then see a Dubzaine-designed poster with the words of Dr. Butch Bilal Ware:
“No one makes any progress on the spiritual path till they are of benefit to their fellow human beings. When you see people who stand on the sidelines in the struggles of their times and who proclaim to be making spiritual progress, don't believe them and don't trust them.”
The film cuts back to the Ugandan jungle, this time in daylight, and we see Kabaka Klacity Labartin, the vocalist of IR :: Sankara Future Dub Resurgence. Like Charles, he is wearing a Mongolia Free Dub t-shirt. We follow him inside the Atua Dub Shrine which is IR’s own autonomous space in this part of the world.
