Recorded over the span of eight years, Sam and Squirrel reveals a very special bond that develops between two artists. Frank "Squirrel" Williams and Sam Zolten crossed paths in the basement of a music store, and a steady friendship was built on the basis of their love of music in general...and the conga in particular! As their friendship deepened, the video camera became a window on their respective worlds.
