Scales; assistant editor, Clare Dewitt; photography, Kevin Mills; Allan CodeDescription:Documentary about The Shipyards neighbourhood in Whitehorse, Yukon, its history and the impact of the decision by city officials to tear it down. The Shipyards was a collection of ramshackle makeshift houses on the former site where the sternwheelers that travelled the Yukon River were built. Former residents and people interested in local heritage characterize The Shipyards as a place where people lived in freedom despite the rough living conditions and where the frontier nature of the Yukon survived. The documentary uses archival and present-day footage, still photographs and interviews. <40mn 32s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
