Roger Daltrey, star frontman for the benchmark rock band the Who, presents the amazing music of the Who's guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend — in a star-studded, full-blown orchestral concert at New York's fabled Carnegie Hall. Supported by the awesome power of the Juilliard Orchestra, along with featured rock drums and guitars, Daltrey gives a soaring performance on a huge scale. And the songs more than stand up — "You Better You Bet," "I Can See For Miles," "Baba O'Reilly," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Pinball Wizard," "Won't Get Fooled Again," and many more of these timeless creations take on the full dramatic qualities that have always been part and parcel of Townshend's musical and poetic genius.

The story of Sport and Spoon - two young hustlers who attend the eponymous convention, only to get tangled up in a financial disagreement that leads to a shootout, police chase and finishes with Sport on death row, weighing up what it all means. Taking its title from the album, the film blends archive photos with interviews and uses unique animated sequences set to the album. It portrays Hustlers Convention in its wider social context and Jalal's personal story as one of rap's undisputed pioneers.
