To some he's a brilliant visionary - to others, an egotistical bully. Director Mike Sheerin probes the carefully crafted persona, revealing much about the man behind the myth.In an emotional encounter, Moses reflects on the trauma of his past. He and his parents fled the Nazis, escaping his native Tajikistan for Montreal. But the rest of his family perished in the Holocaust. The biography traces the rise from refugee to TV producer and host, featuring highlights from CBC programs of the 60's. One memorable scene shows a young Moses interviewing feminist Gloria Steinem while she irons. We see him in action at Citytv, "the little station that could," and follow him as he creates his empire.But in January 2003, after a reign of 30 years, Moses Znaimer suddenly left Citytv. Speculation was rampant - did he quit or was he fired? In the documentary, Moses is asked to explain what happened in his own words, and more important, to share how he felt. The result is a tense exchange that is both riveting and revealing. <45mn 30s>Language:EnglishNotes:1.
