Four of the five chapters into which "Romantic Warriors" is divided focus on venues and events that have contributed to the progressive rock renaissance in the early 21st century. The first chapter was filmed at the Rites of Spring festival (ROSfest) in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, while the second introduces the viewers to the unique atmosphere of Baltimore's Orion Sound Studios. The fourth chapter was filmed at the 2009 edition of ProgDay, the open-air festival in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and consolidated its status as the world's longest-running progressive rock festival; the final chapter deals with the North East Art Rock Festival (NEARfest), based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, whose final edition was held in June 2012. On the other hand, the third (and central) chapter revolves around cult English band Gentle Giant, and shows live footage of the band in the Seventies, as well as an interview with guitarist Gary Green. Though most of "Romantic Warriors" was filmed in the US, some of the bands and artists featured in the documentary hail from countries such as Italy (D.F.A. and La Maschera di Cera), Sweden (Karmakanic), Mexico (Cabezas de Cera) and Japan (Qui), reaffirming the international scope of the progressive rock phenomenon. The thriving US scene is represented by Cheer-Accident, Deluge Grander, Oblivion Sun, Phideaux, Paul Sears of The Muffins, and solo artist Rob Martino. As a whole, the acts that appear in the film exemplify some of the subgenres in which prog has splintered since its inception: symphonic rock, avant-garde progressive rock and jazz-fusion. The film also relies on the testimony of people who have contributed to keeping the scene alive: independent label owners (Steve Feigenbaum and Joyce Nalewajk of Cuneiform Records and Leonardo Pavkovic of Moonjune Records), concert/festival organizers (Mike Potter of Orion Studios, George Roldan of ROSfest, Steve Sly of ProgDay, Rob LaDuca, Ray Loboda and Jim Robinson of NEARfest), radio DJs (Deborah Sears of "The Prog Rock Diner"), magazine publishers (John Collinge of "Progression"), and dedicated fans who have been supporting the genre by buying CDs, attending live events, and setting up webzines and Internet forums (a phenomenon that has contributed enormously to prog's 21st-century revival).
