"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.

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.
