Rumble reveals an essential and, until now, missing chapter in the history of popular music: the Indigenous influence.

Lifting the veil on the enormous impact made by First Nations and Native American musicians including Robbie Robertson, Link Wray, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Charley Patton, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis and more, Rumble celebrates their genre-changing and undeniably catchy influence. Blending audio archives, concert footage and interviews with industry icons from Tony Bennett to Stevie Salas to Steven Tyler and Martin Scorsese, this Hot Docs hit and Sundance award-winner is an unforgettable and political exploration of a musical history that was silenced for too long. ESSENTIAL AND FASCINATING.

Winner of the Hot Docs Audience Award and Rogers Audience Award for Best Canadian Documentary!

"In the end, the story is one not only of rock- and pop-culture history, but of human persistence and indigenous contributions that have been historically (and often intentionally) overlooked." - Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail
