SO WRONG THEYRE RIGHT chronicles a 10,000 mile journey around the US in search of trackersfanatical collectors of 8-Track tapes, those funky clunky pre-recorded plastic cartridges from the 70s.

Russ Forster and Dan Sutherland capture over 20 interviews, brimming with reminiscences, rants, political diatribes, fantasies, fix-it tips, sales pitches, and everything else that defines the skeptical yet inquisitive mind of the 8-Track enthusiast.

More than a film about pop-music nostalgia, it serves as a statement of outrage from a population of consumers who are tired of being told what to consume.
