Show detail Hide detail

Television documentary program on the roots of Canadian identity. Lister Sinclair introduces the three-part program featuring a series of short films produced by the National Film Board. MORNING ON THE LIÈVRE. Photographed in Quebec, the film captures the beauty of the Canadian wilderness on an autumn morning, illustrating the words of Archibald Lampman's poem written in 1888. THE JOURNALS OF SUSANNA MOODIE. Archival drawings and photographs of pioneer life in Ontario from 1832 provide a visual focus for the poems of Margaret Atwood drawn from the works of this early Canadian writer. The poems, read by Mia Anderson, describe the life of Susanna Moodie as a Canadian immigrant, first in the wilds of Upper Canada and later in the town of Belleville, Ontario, and reveal the heritage of spirited determination upon which modern Canada is founded. PIKANGIKAN. Canadian artist John Gould provides both the direction and drawings for this perceptive film about the changing lifestyles of the Indians of Pikangikan Reservation in Northern Ontario. The sound-track contains the voices of children and adults who live on the Reservation as they recite their lessons in school or express their feelings of resentment and isolation. The program concludes with an introduction to the following program on MAN AT THE CENTRE, on the subject of perception. <60mn>
