“The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal is not just a nitty gritty tale about a group of musicians in search of their destiny. It’s also a look at the band’s mission of probing what it means to be from Canada — a sometimes misunderstood country, politically and culturally. “For many Canadians, that quiet pride [for the Hip] is real,” Downie says. “The music touches the heart. It’s that connection, and then a little bit of a history lesson about these Canadian individuals and places.””
