THE WHITE STRIPES: UNDER GREAT WHITE NOTHERN LIGHTS
Wed 17 March, 8.30pm

In the summer of 2007, just after the release of Icky Thump and in the lead-up to their tenth anniversary, The White Stripes set out on an ambitious and idiosyncratic tour, aiming to play in every province and territory in Canada, "from the ocean to the permafrost," as Jack White put it. Filmmaker Emmett Malloy was invited along, and was able to record this beautifully shot and often very touching document of their journey on and off stage.

The night-time gigs often have the feel of being big events in small towns, whilst during the day, Jack and Meg play a variety of 'secret' shows – in pool halls, schools, bowling alleys, even a flour mill – where their blues roots resonate with many of the communities they visit.
