This Film Should Be Played Loud: New and classic concert and rock films meant to be watched with the volume way up.
When you think about what Canada sounds like, a Tragically Hip song might start playing in your head. Long-time friends of the band, Canadian directors Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier capture the now-legendary farewell Man Machine Poem tour of 2016, which hit the road after iconic frontman Gord Downie announced he had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Through intimate moments, footage from behind the scenes and on stage, and the band and their close friends sharing more than 30 years of memories, Long Time Running showcases the perseverance of the Hip—and of Downie—over the course of a powerful tour that featured some of the most exhilarating performances of the band’s history.
“It is deeply sad and positively triumphant. It's everything we need it to be.” —Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto
