Show detail Hide detail

The American version differs only slightly from the Canadian: Canadian locations are not identified as such in the American version and American locations remain unidentified in the Canadian; the films have different narrators but substantially the same narration; and the Canadian version has a pronounced Canadian slant while the American version speaks more of North America's role and resources.
