Hot Docs kickoffs tomorrow! Starting tomorrow we will have a new Hot Docs review for you each day during the festival. Until then here is the last edition of our four part ( Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 ) Hot Docs preview: Big Easy Express Three bands set out on a musical adventure through America by vintage train. Journeying through six cities and covering thousands of miles, L.A.’s Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Nashville boys Old Crow Medicine Show and Londoners Mumford & Sons climb on board in Oakland and embark upon an adventure that will lead them to the heart of New Orleans. Making pit stops along the way to play sold out shows, this is a journey of late-night musical discovery, enrapturing golden landscapes and adoring crowds.

And why doesn’t the family seem to notice these glaring inconsistencies? It’s only when an investigator starts asking questions that this strange tale takes an even stranger turn… Screenings: Friday April 27th 9:00 pm - Bloor Cinema; Saturday April 28th 1:15 pm – TIFF Bell Lightbox 1; Monday April 30th 11:00 pm – Isabel Bader Tchoupitoulas Late one night three teenage boys sneak out of the ...
