I have seen this film a few times and will never tire of it. The music is great and the performances by the artists are good. Augustin's overall intent is cleverly presented. As suggested by the title, this is a documentary about radio station KHYI, a.k.a., The Range. But more importantly it is a door into the decline of country music. The Range is the last stand of the glory days of Nashville. In light of the transition that is taking place from Nashville country to Pop, this documentary is more than a footnote to a once proud and glorious musical heritage. Don't listen to the detractors. Watch the movie, and listen to the performances. A documentary made by a person who has compassion for the music and the people that keep it going. Very often we don't notice that something is lost until it's gone.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.

According to the Federal Communications Commission there are over 13,000 radio stations in the United States but only one, THE RANGE. The Range explores one of the most unique radio stations in the United States, KHYI also known as The Range. In an age when media conglomerates dominate both public and private radio stations KHYI is one of the last family owned and operated FM stations in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. As Nashville finds itself increasing dependent on the power of corporations, marketing focus groups, and consultants KHYI plays what its listeners call OKOM, Our Kind of Music, Hard Country. The Good Fight Digital Motion Pictures combines musical elements with documentary filmmaking to tell the story of the last stand for the virtue of country music, KHYI, The Range.
