Girt By Beards

The World Beard and Mustache Championships is a bi-annual event that was established in 1990. Competitors from around the globe compete in what has been dubbed the Olympics of professional beard growing.
The Beards are a South Australian band that exclusively write and perform songs about the importance of having a beard.

In 2009, The Beards (and two fellow bearded Aussies) travel to Anchorage, Alaska, to perform at and compete in the World Beard and Mustache Championships as the first-ever Australian team.
A fun-spirited documentary about one of the world’s most obscure bands at one of the world’s most obscure events. As they celebrate everything bearded, discover a strange city and perform in front of their dream audience. A truly revealing and entertaining look at the real characters behind The Beards.
