Donald Shebib (born 17 January 1938), often called Don Shebib, is a Canadian film director, writer, producer and editor. He gained prominence and critical acclaim in Canadian cinema for his 1970 movie Goin' Down the Road. The company travelled around Toronto in a station wagon and was supported by CFDC funding. The film was hailed by Pauline Kael, Roger Ebert, and credited by Kael as showing up the more forced sincerity and 'honesty' of John Cassavetes. Shebib was born in Toronto, Ontario. He is the father of Noah "40" Shebib.

Forty years after the events of Goin' Down the Road Joey has died in Vancouver and Pete — who left Toronto with Joey after a violent incident — must return to the city to honour Joey's request that his ashes be taken back to Cape Breton Island. Betty-Jo, Joey and Betty's daughter, joins him in the journey, driving cross-Canada in the same 1960 Chevy Impala convertible that Joey and Pete used when they left home in 1970. The return to Cape Breton becomes Joey's final gift to Pete, as he reconnects with Betty, Selina and Annie, and learns about Matt.

Pete and Joey drive their 1960 Chevrolet Impala from their home on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia to Toronto with the hope of meeting up with their relatives in the city who might be able to help them find them jobs. But their relatives hide from what they see as the pair's uncouth behaviour, and the two are set adrift in the city. The men find minimum-wage jobs at $2 an hour for a 40-hour week, still much better pay than anything they could have found back home.
