Gord Downie has released the first track from his upcoming project, “Secret Path.”
The full video of the song, “The Stranger,” is available below and at this link.
Downie’s new project tells the story of a 12-year-old First Nations boy in Ontario named Chanie Wenjack, who died in 1966 after running away from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ont.
In a statement released last month, Downie said he learned the story of Chanie, who was misnamed Charlie by his teachers, from a 1967 Maclean’s magazine article.
The “Secret Path” album and book will be released on Oct. 18 and the film will air on CBC on Oct. 23.
