Cartoonist, painter, humorist, publisher, iconographer, and teacher, Jacob Maydanyk was part of the first wave of Ukrainian immigrants who arrived in Canada between 1896-1914 and settled primarily in the Prairies. But his is not a typical immigrant's story, for the comic strip character he created, "Shteef Tabachniuk", became a folk hero among the Ukrainian immigrants. LAUGHTER IN MY SOUL, intercut with live action, rare archival film and photographs, is not only a testament to the dignity and heroism of those early pioneers, but also a tribute to those whose spirit lives on, to those who had laughter in their souls. <27mn 50s>
