Griefwalker is a Tim Wilson documentary from the National Film Board of Canada. With gorgeous cinematography, the film describes the exquisite disfunction of our death phobic culture. A former palliative care counselor, Stephen Jenkinson describes the wretched anxiety he witnessed in his work. As we follow stories of the dying, we find our hearts broken; not heartbreak of the sentimental heartbreak  of the  variety  but hearts broken open in the way that allows for healing.

The film is available to stream for free here: https://www.nfb.ca/film/griefwalker/

"The current appetite is for either distraction or distress. These two seem to be in neither business."

A Night of Grief & Mystery combines stories and observations by author/culture activist Stephen Jenkinson, drawn from his decades of work in palliative care, with original songs/sonics by recording artist Gregory Hoskins.

The two Canadians have been working, recording and touring together for 8 years. They come to the road in 2023 as they did in the beginning: the two of them, a singer and a storyteller, out into the mystery days.

“The show was beautiful and dark and compelling and cathartic. Educational yet humbling. Strange yet familiar. It was a singular experience. I’m still kinda dumbstruck by the whole thing.” CT, Kitchener, ON

“Wow. Just wow. What a beautiful, heart wrenching, funny, brilliant show. I was astounded by the eloquence and poetic nature of the oratory style, and by the (for lack of a better word) TOTAL BAD-ASSNESS of it all.” N, Turners Falls, ME

“I highly recommend this show to you. Highly. Higher than highly.” PS, London, ON
