“In the summer of 2016, more than a third of Canadians tuned in to watch what was to be the Tragically Hip’s final performance, broadcast from their hometown of Kingston. Their music defined a generation of Canadian rock music, selling millions of records. But the five men were always more than just a band: they were a vehicle for conversations about Canadian culture, about poetry, about performance, about hockey, about America. In the summer of 2016, those conversations expanded to include camaraderie, aging in art, reconciliation, and death.”
