Tragically Hip fans mourning the death of Gord Downie will have a chance to see a new documentary about the band's final tour.
The documentary "Long Time Running" was originally scheduled to air on CTV in November but has been moved up to Friday. It will air again on Nov. 12 and become available to stream on CraveTV.
"Long Time Running" had its world premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Filmmakers Nicholas de Pencier and Jennifer Baichwal said the documentary came together "on a dime," in part because Downie's diagnosis meant the band wasn't sure they would be able to finish the tour.
"We all were sort of in this, 'Is this really the right thing to do in this moment?"' Baichwal said. "And it was, and so that's how it came together.... They trusted us."
In May 2016, Downie revealed his diagnosis with glioblastoma, an incurable form of cancer. He died Tuesday night "with his beloved children and family close by," according to a statement on the Tragically Hip's website. He was 53.
