Lost Nation Road (2019)

Stephen Jenkinson once headed the counselling team of Canada's largest home-based palliative care program. Working with hundreds of deaths, he witness a wretched anxiety that gathered around dying people and their families. He recognized this phobia as not just a personal issue, but has its parallel in our modern cultures' climate-killing way of life. After leaving palliative care, Stephen published the book Die Wise about his time in the death trade. He began teaching extensively across North America, then around the world. A synchronistic encounter with Canadian musician Gregory Hoskins gave rise to an unlikely collaboration and the 'Nights of Grief and Mystery' tour was born. LOST NATION ROAD is a glimpse behind-the-scenes of their soulful mystery train, an ode to wonder, and a love letter for the willingness to know endings.
