The Tragically Hip has been at the heart of the Canadian musical zeitgeist for 40 years, evoking a strong emotional connection between their music and their fans that remains unrivaled.

THE TRAGICALLY HIP - A NATIONAL CELEBRATION captures this historic concert, revealing the emotion of a country as they said goodbye to their fearless frontman.
