Bell Media has unveiled a glimpse of a new documentary on the Tragically Hip's smash cross-country tour.

The upcoming film documents the leadup to the Kingston band's 2016 tour for their "Man Machine Poem" album after Hip frontman Gord Downie announced he had incurable brain cancer.

The tour ended with an emotional nationally broadcast concert in the band's hometown.

The 90-second trailer for the film features candid behind-the-scenes moments of the band in rehearsal and backstage on their tour.
