The full three-part documentary feature, in which Forrester explores the career of Sterling Morrison, pays a long-overdue tribute to one of the most underrated rock guitarists in music history, and takes a detailed look into his background, his style of playing, his intuitive contributions to the music, and the turbulent story - from his perspective - of one of the most important bands of the 1960s.

Sterling was highly intellectual, and an articulate speaker, with a sharp tongue and dry wit.
He gave numerous interviews over the years, where he covered his experiences during the band years in great depth. These have been compiled into one cohesive timeline, and all of his quotes are read aloud by voice actor Wyatt Markus - bringing the late musician's words back to life, in addition to actual audio/video of Sterling himself where available.
Also included are personal accounts from Sterling’s widow, Martha Morrison, as well as music industry executive Bill Bentley (who was a close friend of Sterling’s and played with him in a band called The Bizarro’s during the 1970s), and musician Dean Wareham (frontman of the band Luna, who supported The Velvet Underground during their reunion tour of Europe, in 1993), who have all contributed audio interviews, offering their memories of the guitarist, plus several demonstration/reconstruction scenes performed by Cam Forrester, using the same guitar models as Sterling originally used on recordings.

Sterling was quoted saying that he intended to write a book of his memories of the band years, to be titled ‘The Velvet Underground Diet’, but tragically died one day after his 53rd Birthday, of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, on August 30th 1995, before ever getting around to doing so.
The aim of the documentary is to tell as many of Sterling’s recollections that were written down over the years, to as many people as possible all over the world.
