First-time filmmaker Michael Rubenstone sets out to find his musical hero, Sly Stone, the reclusive funk legend. In doing so, he manages to make the most comprehensive documentary on Sly And The Family Stone to date, while also bringing Sly out of hiding for the first time since 1993. Part road movie, part rock doc, ON THE SLY follows Michael over the course of ten years, across the United States, as he chronicles how a musical icon fell from grace.
