Dressez une liste de films portant sur des groupes rock. Visionnez-en quelques-uns dans la mesure du possible. Comment le groupe Tragically Hip se compare-t-il à d’autres groupes? Citez des exemples de chansons canadiennes qui véhiculent aussi un message d’honnêteté et d’intégrité. Comment ces chansons (p. ex. : « Complicated », d’Avril Lavigne, « Saltwater Cowboys », de Simani) se rattachent-elles au message du film? Examinez les techniques cinématographiques utilisées. En quoi influent-elles sur l’impression générale que produit le groupe?
