A band from Greenville, South Carolina sets out to break a world record for the longest marathon playing mandolin. They discover it’s far more challenging than they had ever imagined, and there’s suddenly a lot riding on their ability to succeed. Acting simultaneously as bandmates, record-breakers, entertainers, and filmmakers—the band and their crew spend a year preparing for and executing an attempt to bring down a record that had stood for 5 years prior. This one-of-a-kind documentary film follows their journey. Brother Oliver is a rock band with a propensity to make their own adventures. Follow them on this insane journey.
