The Blu-ray is now available. I've just watched it. I had to see this documentary and I'm glad I did.

***Gaetan - this is a previously created documentary right ? They just released it now for blu-ray correct ?

The release year is 2021 in small theaters I think:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15301628/

In early 2022 it was available on the streaming service Crave. I don't have any streaming service.

It is available now on Blu-ray since Nov 4th 2022. This is a US release:

Great documentary. Watched it with Amazon Prime. However, I noticed they skipped any mention of the Progressions of Power album completely. I wonder why?

It was a really fun watch (I paid for it on demand through Amazon IIRC). It was clearly something the band endorsed/produced so it glossed over a lot (and maybe that's why Progressions of Power got little mention given that I don't think it did much commercially) and had more focus on the get-a-life Triumph super-fans than I would have preferred, but it was awesome to see some early stuff and then to see the guys today...I'd hang out with any one of them (but I think Gil Moore would get on my nerves by the third beer).

Relatedly/unrelated: I watched a live vid of Emmett playing 'Midsummer's Dream' and thought, 'Huh, that was kinda sloppy.' Watch a few more videos and he's now older and looking back about how he kinda got roped into including a guitar solo piece on every album, and how 'I'm not a great guitarist, but I can write and I can play perfect measures, so Pro Tools was a godsend and I could paste measures together.' Man, I admire him all the more for admitting it.
I'll be the judge of what's good and what isn't, thank you... ;)
