This film celebrates and chronicles Gordon Lightfoot’s extraordinary career by taking viewers on a journey into the lives of his devoted fans, affectionately known as “Lightheads.” The film begins with the legendary Canadian singer’s return tour to the United Kingdom and Ireland (where fans had waited more than 30 years to see him perform), but as the story unfolds it encompasses much more. The film’s themes of love, friendship, and dedication are sure to resonate even among viewers who are completely unfamiliar with Lightfoot’s music. Lightheaded features heartwarming anecdotes from rock-solid band members and fun, endearing moments with his quirky fans and international crew from the United States and Israel—all woven together by a stellar soundtrack and an interview with Lightfoot at his home in Toronto.
