The group was reformed in 1997 under the name 'Remember Shakti' with new talents from India like V. Selvaganesh who replaced his father 'Vikku' and the young prodigy 'Mandolin' U. Shrinivas who replaced L. Shankar. In 2000, the young Indian classical singer Shankar Mahadevan joined the group as the first vocal element in the group.
Through interviews with the original founding members, John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain, the film uncovers the quest for breaking new musical ground that led to the creation of their own brand of music.
These interviews are interwoven with rare and exclusive historical footage of the group from the 70s to the present day. The film also introduces the younger generation of Shakti and their views on its ever-evolving music.
Two live concert videos of the group shot in Montreux Jazz Festival in 1976 and 2004.
