Canada can be an unforgiving and tough country when it comes to music. Being a professional musician on the road means long drives, cold weather, little money, crappy motels, terrible food and time spent away from those you love. It also means camaraderie, fun, excitement, and following ones passion and dreams. More than anything it's life changing. Authentic follows Hamilton's YOUNG RIVAL as they tackle the open road in the hopes of finding their place in the Canadian music industry. Also featured in the film are members of the Canadian bands The Sheepdogs, Hollerado, Arkells, Born Ruffians and more.
