In June 1970, rock and roll performers including The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band and Buddy Guy travelled across northern Canada in a chartered train. Cameras followed the musicians as they lived, partied and performed together over five days. The tour proved financially disastrous and the footage remained locked in the vaults of Canada's National Film Archives until 1994. Mixing new interviews with the archival footage, Festival Express charts a rock and roll adventure and reflects on its meaning more than three decades later.
