AMPLIFY showcases the powerful diversity of Indigenous music in Canada. In each episode of this documentary anthology series, we meet an Indigenous singer/songwriter as they explore the creation of a new song based on a personal source of inspiration. From songs in Indigenous languages to country and hip hop, AMPLIFY takes a deep dive into the creative processes of these artists and their strong connections to their Indigenous cultures. Through their music, their cultures are amplified. Seasons One and Two are now available on APTN and Lumi in Canada; Season Three is currently in production with an expected premiere in late 2024.
