Canuck - A History of Canadian Cinema

Despite recent claims to the contrary – Canada is very much its own nation, with a unique storytelling sensibility that draws on its diverse peoples, histories and language. Join one of its exports (Kenton Hall) for this 4-week guide to the cinematic wonders of the Great White North.

Join one of its exports (Kenton Hall) for this 4-week guide to cinematic wonders of the Great White North.
