This documentary details how Gord Downie exhausted everything he had, his friends, his family, his fame, his magical stage presence & cathartic super powers to shine a light on the issues of residential schools in the last year of his battle with brain cancer. This is both the last year of his life & the making of "the Secret Path". It is evident that this man did not desire something for himself as his legacy, but something profound and deep for all Canadians.
