Release


The film premiered on September 7, 2018, at a TIFF "Special Event" that served as both the film screening and a memorial tribute to Stewart.[5] It also received a gala screening at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival,[6] as well as screenings at the Calgary International Film Festival[7] and the Vancouver International Film Festival.[8] Rob Stewart's mother, Sandy Stewart, said "[the] entire team stayed with it, everybody stepped up. We have people from all over the world — cinematographers, filmmakers, really important people — offering to help finish this, and that was really heartwarming."[9] Julie Andersen, who founded the nonprofit United Conservationists with Stewart, was part of this team.[10][11]
