The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights
In the summer of 2007, shortly after the release of their 6th album Icky Thump, The White Stripes headed north of their hometown of Detroit to embark on an ambitious journey across Canada. The plan was to play a show in every province and territory in Canada, from B.C. to Newfoundland to Nunavut.

The beautifully shot doc follows the band’s 2007 Canadian tour, and it’s a reminder that while Jack White may enjoy his less pressurised roles in his other bands, he’s a shadow of the rock star that’s unleashed when it’s just him and Meg. The first piece of concert footage is a thunderous version of first single ‘Let’s Shake Hands’, and as Meg plays one-handed with Jack whirling wildly in front of her, it all comes flooding back: they’re the most violent, sexiest live band of our times.

The most subtly shot and well-recorded concert footage ever.
