Television documentary on the 1957-1967 decade under the leadership of John G. Diefenbaker and Lester B. Pearson. Part one of eight employs archival footage, interviews, and narrative to review early influences on Diefenbaker and Pearson; world events; and political events leading to the election of a new Conservative government. Noteworthy archival footage of: the Suez Canal crisis, in which Pearson played a major peacekeeping role; the Progressive Conservative Party's leadership conventions of 1948 and 1956; and the election of 1957 resulting in a minority government under Diefenbaker. Interviews with politicians such as M.J. Coldwell, Leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation; George Drew, former leader of the Conservative Party; Gordon Churchill, Minister of Trade and Commerce; and shots of C.D. Howe with reporters, highlight the pipeline bill debate of 1956 central to the demise of the Liberal government under Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. <60mn>
