In addition to a lengthy excerpt from the film, there are interviews with experts who address the methodology and history of the group. G. Kwame Scruggs, whose Ph.D. is in Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology, is the founder and co-leader of Alchemy. Robert Miller is a music therapist who is trained in drumming circles as well as Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). Both describe and deconstruct ways of working with youth groups using culturally relevant myths and drumming, which increase both self-knowledge and confidence.
