A new documentary film about artist Norval Morrisseau, There Are No Fakes, premieres next week at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto.
Theatrical releases in Vancouver, Montreal and possibly other cities are slated for June. The film will air on TVO and British Columbia's Knowledge Network in the fall.
The film has its roots in the story of musician Kevin Hearn of the Barenaked Ladies, who buys what he is told is a painting by the iconic Indigenous artist, and explores what the IMDb movie rating site calls "the tragic, brutal world of an art forgery ring."
