Shaun Majumder, Every Word Is Absolutely True

Feature-length documentary following Canadian funny man Shaun Majumder as he embarks on his first ever cross-Canada solo stand-up tour from St. John's, Newfoundland to Victoria, B.C.

As the story unfolds, a more intimate and complex side of one of Canada's funniest people is revealed.
