Long Time Running chronicles the emotional and epic iconic Canadian band’s now-legendary 2016 tour that captured the heart of the nation. Viewers will be given a unique and exclusive perspective into The Tragically Hip’s world through intimate moments, behind-the-scenes and on-stage footage, personal interviews with the band and close friends, as well as reactions from their devoted fans from across the country. From the directors of the award-winning documentaries Watermark, Black Code, Manufactured Landscapes and Payback.

"And amid the mass adoration, they capture heart-breaking moments of intimacy - Downie sitting backstage in his underwear, polishing his black boots, a ritual inherited from his father, brushing them as if his life depended on it." Brian D. Johnson, Maclean's Magazine
