Part One: Looking for a Place to Happen S01E01

1980s Kingston, Ontario is known for prisons and a preppy university - not rock ‘n’ roll. Five high school friends change that when they form The Tragically Hip and set out to rock one small town after another. While performing for a big-city music exec, The Hip survive a near-disaster and score their big break. Next stop, Memphis, where The Hip record their first hit album, Up To Here.
