Four sisters, one dusty dream, and a public access camera that sees everything.
The Reed Sisters: an American Story traces the life and times of the Reed Sisters, a teenage Country-Western Rock and Pop group, and their dogged attempt to achieve a dream of being big stars. In the microcosm of a small town public access TV show lies a story that considers identity, the consequences of striving for the American Dream, the bond between sisters, and finally, what really matters in the long run.
