Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World // Music on Film

Music on Film: Inspiring music docs from around the world come together with special musical performances and discussions selected by the Royal Conservatory of Music.

One of the most acclaimed music docs of recent years, RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World reveals an essential and, until now, missing chapter in the history of popular music: the Indigenous influence. Lifting the veil on the enormous impact made by First Nations and Native American musicians including Robbie Robertson, Link Wray, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Charley Patton, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis and more, Rumble celebrates their genre-changing and undeniably catchy influence. Blending audio archives, concert footage and interviews with industry icons from Tony Bennett to Steven Tyler and Martin Scorsese, this Hot Docs hit and Sundance award-winner is an unforgettable and political exploration of a musical history that was silenced for too long. Join Mervon Mehta, Executive Director Performing Arts at The Royal Conservatory of Music, for a Q&A and short performance by Oneida/Six Nationa singer-songwriter Lacey Hill.
