This documentary follows the four Kiwi pipe bands that travelled to the 2023 World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow—Auckland and District, Canterbury Caledonian Society, Manawatu Scottish, and St Andrew's College—from the very start of their campaigns right through to the competition at Glasgow Green. Showcasing the true antipodean flavour of New Zealand pipe-banding, Kiwis from all walks of life show what it takes to travel the 12,000 Miles (18,000 km) each year to pit themselves against the best in the business.
