DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
ordered to series |
DESCRIPTION:
(from Amazon's press release, April 2022) The untitled documentary project on The Tragically Hip from director Mike Downie is a multipart docuseries that will feature exclusive, never-before-seen footage, photos, performances, and stories from the band's long and storied career. Woven throughout the interviews will be lead singer (and Mike's brother) Gord Downie's personal writing from his notebooks and journals, lyrics, and correspondence with family, friends, and fans. The documentary will cover everything from the band's early days playing weekends at Kingston's infamous strip bar, to their hitting the small towns of Ontario in a broken-down van, to winning over Toronto one club at a time, to their first fateful trip out west. The film will culminate with the band's sold-out coast-to-coast tours, where fans in every city roared at the first chords of their favourite songs and sang along with the band in thunderous unison. The band is ready to share 40 years' worth of stories - the highs and lows, the private and public, the friendships and frustrations, the milestones and missed birthdays - all of the essential elements of a long, complicated, and wildly successful musical marriage. |
