Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mistaken for Strangers about? Toggle content

Mistaken for Strangers is a documentary film that follows the indie rock band The National on their biggest tour to date. The film takes an intimate look at the band's inner workings and the bond between the two brothers, Matt and Tom Berninger, who are both part of the band's crew. Tom, who is nine years younger than Matt, brings his own unique perspective to the film as he struggles to balance his ambition with his responsibilities on tour. The result is a hilarious and touching story of two very different brothers and their artistic aspirations.
