We're The Weakerthans, We're From Winnipeg

We’re The Weakerthans, We’re From Winnipeg follows one of Canada’s most acclaimed and beloved rock bands on an epic cross-country tour from St. John’s, Newfoundland all the way up to Whitehorse, rocking and rolling into the hearts of thousands along the way.
From vast big-city venues to tiny small-town taverns, this feature-length documentary weaves the band’s special blend of lyrical majesty and blistering instrumentation with unforgettable characters and a rare behind-the-scenes look at the shenanigans that only a touring band would dare.
Thoughtful reflection, oddball anecdotes and the strange mix of cramped quarters and vast scenic vistas over the unmistakable tones of The Weakerthans will delight your senses and make you proud to say, “We’re from Winnipeg.”

This band has meant a lot to me for a long time.

Great video. Weakerthans are my favorite band and they were the soundtrack of my youth. Hope the guys are doing well and we can get a chance to see them together live again. Need it more now then ever. Thanks for the music guys. 🍻

So Canadian, so talented, so beautiful, so missed.

I remember one of my first solo trips to Winnipeg from Dauphin I got to see them at the Burton Cummings Theatre and they played damn near their whole discography. It was my first ever concert I been too and it was such an amazing moment I'll never forget.

Saw them for the first time in like 2003 (ish) at Lupo's in Providence, RI. Second and final time at The Paradise in Boston in 2009. I think John played Gifts (Propagandhi song) both times which was great. I miss this band!

An important document of one of the best Canadian bands ever. Sun in an Empty Room, Left and Leaving, One Great City, Plea from a Cat Named Virtute rank as the best songs ever from a Canadian.

[@robertoiannucci4881]

And not just from a Canadian :)

[@GerardGraadmeter]

Well documented. Very well done... also a nice insight into the beautiful Canadian landscape and its bright light.

[@uncleweed]

just enjoyed watching in a cottage in Japan. so many familiar scenes, songs and musings. not just a band, they are a treasure.

Thank you SO much for uploading!

[@FarpointDistribution]

Thanks for letting us know, we love this film!

[@tombarber8929]

When this movie first came out, in like 2011, I remember it was only available on iTunes Canada, so I had to have a friend from there buy me a giftcard so I could rent it in the US. Eventually ended up getting it from the Weakerthans online merch store years later, and it remains one of my favorite music related movies! And the question that needs to be asked is...how many of those bacon wrapped marshmallows did you eat?

[@sword3197]

RIP Weakerthans merch store

[@whitetrashru]

I really miss both of these bands. This video is really nice.

[@gmc2345rx]

[@LuisCarlos190]

Pure nostalgia

One of my favorite bands. saw them live in europe for several times. GREAT GREAT

[@haydenmerrick274]

Stephen's tube-thingy solo during 'Elegy for Elsabet' was incredible!

[@jenniferparker7588]

When was this made? I love and miss this band so much... 😭

[@ricblow]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I've never been able to access it in the UK, so I have been waiting for it to appear online for many years. Great stuff! Like many others, I'm still holding out for a reunion and new music one day.... Such a fantastic band.

[@FarpointDistribution]

Thanks Ric, we are very proud of this filmand are glad we could share it with you!

[@davidvaillancourt9294]

thanks for upload this is amazing! Could you please not put the ads in the middle of songs? It would so much more enjoyable :)

[@drichard3094]

Saw this on the Movie Network back when it came out, havent' seen it since. Thank you for posting. So good!

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

THANK YOU!

[@patirosendo913]

Thank you so much for uploading this. ❤

[@simsalonaut]

THANK YOU! I tried watching it in Germany when I came out, but it didn't work, and then I forgot about it. I'm 36 now and after watching this, it's safe to say that I'll always be singing Weakerthans songs. Oh how we miss them! Thanks for bringing back the feeling!

[@choclady]

This! I need them to get back together and come back to Berlin 😭

[@travisdsimmon]

do it again!!

[@daverandall3069]

What year was this shot? And can you convince the band to get back out on the road? Tall ask but why not! I have yet to see them live.

[@schnitzelnudel]

So beautiful!

[@FarpointDistribution]

Thank you! 😊

[@simsalonaut]

Schnitzelnudel!

[@alk3rocks13]

Such a shame that they stopped making music together ,,,.

[@InciteFire]

Now I'm wondering which one of them got stabbed. 🤔

[@Alanmadcomedy]

The fucking best.

[@FarpointDistribution]

We couldn't agree more!

[@cliffrichard5086]

Hey, this is amazing, thank you. When was it filmed?

[@FarpointDistribution]

Thanks Richard, we followed them on their last tour in 2010

[@dustanjhlady]

Just skip over Saskatchewan, huh?

[@solarpoweredtree]

[@JoeWierenga]

I'm like #666 confirming this is devil music

[@versus_bugs]

Haha JKS talking about breakups sounds like a naive little child

[@sharkulashairstylist5505]

I was there when you first played in the states and am so grateful that happened in the small room it did,
