Walter Ostanek is Canada´s most accomplished musician. Don´t believe it? Consider that he holds the Canadian record for Grammy nominations, 16 in total, netting him three wins. He´s put out enough albums to rival the Stones - 62 records and 20 singles in his 50 year career. He´s hosted radio and TV shows and toured endlessly to fans around the globe. His star is on the walk of fame and he´s received The Order of Canada. All this and you may not have heard of him. Maybe that´s because Walter plays polka - the oft-maligned music of weddings, family reunions and Oktoberfests. Being the Polka King takes guts, dedication and a serious love for a music that is unappreciated by many people. The Cult of Walt is a one-hour documentary that looks at the illustrious 50-year career of Walter Ostanek and the devoted fan base that´s sustained it.
