“The Tragically Hip are Canada’s band and CIFF couldn’t be happier to celebrate our 25th anniversary and the band’s 40th anniversary with this intimate and emotional documentary,” said Brian Owens, CIFF’s artistic director, in a release.”Calgary is one of only four cities in the world where Hip fans can catch this on the big screen. It’s a truly exciting event.”
