National Canadian Film Day seems like the perfect time to party with the Great Canadian Band!
Chronicling the epic 2016 tour that The Tragically Hip embarked on after iconic frontman Gord Downie announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and featuring a bounty of Intimate moments, behind-the-scenes and on-stage footage, as well as personal interviews with the band and close friends. Filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier provide a window into the lives of these beloved musicians and reveal the heart-breaking final performances of that now-legendary final tour.
No other band encapsulated the rugged soul of Canada quite like the Hip, and it was completely in character for Downie – the everyman poet laureate of Canada – to go out on his own terms, with a powerfully galvanizing tour that delivered some of the most exhilarating performances of band’s history.
