本片改编自Michael Muhammad Knight的小说《Taqwacore: The Birth of Punk Islam》,“Taqwa”在伊斯兰世界中意指来自于真主安拉的爱与恐惧之感,Muhammad将这个词与摇滚风格中的“HARDCORE”等词相融合,创出“Taqwacore”这个新词,指代那些由穆斯林背景的乐手组成的地下摇滚乐队(主要都是一些OLD SCHOOL PUNK,硬核,RIOT GRRRL,滑板朋克,SKINHEAD,死亡金属等)跟他们的风格主题。影片以此为依托描述了这群乐手们的生活,信仰以及在特殊的文化宗教背景之下所产生的种种迷惘矛盾感。而本片同时也有一部纪录片,全景记录了片中的真实乐队在美国境内巡演之旅。
