Cedar Cinema and Sound Unseen present D-Tour

Winner of Best Documentary at this year’s San Francisco Int’l Film Festival D-Tour follows Pat Spurgeon, the drummer for indie rock band Rogue Wave and how he was placed on dialysis for a failing kidney. Pat’s been on a six-year waiting list for organ replacement and instead of not quitting the band, Rogue Wave goes out on tour, deemed the “Dialysis Tour”, which becomes even more challenging in finding a viable match, for a new kidney while out on the road.

Filmed over three years, and compiling more than 80 hours of footage, D-Tour, also addresses issues with the U.S. health care system, the lack of affordable insurance, the importance of organ donation and the hectic life of an indie musical. D-Tour features live performances from Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), John Vanderslice, Nada Surf, and of course, Rogue Wave.
