Not a bad movie (the first time) and an interesting bit of history but a
little on the patriotic side, didn't it have support from the Canadian
Film board? In the Vancouver area it ran last weekend. And again less
than 2 months ago on one of the other channels.
"A little on the patriotic side"? Mike, we can't possibly hold a candle to
some of the patriotism that comes over our cable TVs from American
channels. I should think you'd be completely inured to such influences by
now. ;-)
As for who supported it, I'm sure it was the usual suspects -- the
Government of Canada (through various agencies, programs, grants etc.), the
Government of Ontario (ditto for various incentive programs and tax credits
for film-making), possibly the National Film Board (though it's not really
the usual sort of fare supported by the NFB), the CBC, and so on, ad
infinitum, ad nauseam...
