What a beautiful documentary. Ethereally, beautifully shot. Heartbreaking yet healing story. I used to watch Stacyann Chin on Def Poetry Jam back in the day. This was a wonderful story. Very relatable. Director is a fellow U of Guelph grad. Just beautiful!

Lots of Hip on this list. It was my way of keeping both my spirits and my elbows up. Canada has a lot of challenges ahead. If we have Hip songs on heavy rotation, we can beat just about anything we may face.
