It was originally planned to premiere on November 12th, but has been moved up following the death of Gord Downie on Tuesday.
Following that announcement, many people started to express concerns that without cable they wouldn’t be able to watch the documentary, but CTV addressed those concerns on Friday.
The network confirmed that the film would be streamed live on CTV.ca and also available to watch on the CTV GO app.
