Show detail Hide detail

This material was originally produced by CKSO-TV, a television station in Sudbury, Ontario that was amalgamated into Mid-Canada Television (MCTV), a Baton Broadcasting affiliate, in 1990. In July of 1993 MCTV discarded this material when they were clearing out their storage area. Keith Clarkson, a producer with Upper Canada Moving Picture Company meeting with senior staff at MCTV to discuss a television project, suggested he would be interested in the material and MCTV offered it to him and his associate, Patrick Crowe. The two men retrieved the films from a garbage dumpster behind the MCTV building and returned it to their offices. Upper Canada Moving Picture Company intended to produce a documentary film about Sudbury's Mine Mill Union raids and approached Ron Mann to assist with financing and to co-produce the film. As part of the co-production arrangement, Ron Mann purchased the physical rights to the film material in February of 1995. Following many attempts, the project was not funded and was abandoned.
