    Where to Watch

Face the Music is an inspirational TV and Web documentary series about the resilience of the creative spirit and one woman's will to follow her dream. Six half hour episodes in season one document the personal and musical journey of Haida/Cree singer/songwriter Kristi Lane Sinclair. Classically trained and critically acclaimed, she's trying to define herself as an Aboriginal artist, or an artist who's Aboriginal. Face the Music takes you behind closed doors of the music industry as we document Kristi's roller coaster journey to record a seminal CD and sing her way onto the Canadian folk/rock landscape. With big ambitions and unfulfilled dreams, she seeks the wisdom of well-known musicians and industry leaders to guide her on the road ahead. But conflicting demands in her personal and professional life are testing her will and creativity - now it's time for Kristi Lane Sinclair to face the music.
