1812 AND ALL THAT! A War That Decided the Future of Canada
On the eve of the War of 1812, British and American commanders joined in a toast to the King and President. Then they went
off to battle one another in a four-year bloodbath that decided the future of Canada. Two centuries of peace have dimmed
memories of the 1812 War, now just a date in Canada's history. Through vivid dramatizations, this program underscores the
significance of the War, while capturing its horrors, and the military tactics of both American and British commanders. Amid
muskets and cannon, the wounded and the dying, the victories and the defeats, the human drama of the 1812 War emerges:
soldiers' wives who must remarry immediately if their husbands were killed; surgeons and nurses desperately striving to save
lives; regiments of black freed slaves and the 30 Aboriginal nations from across the continent who fought beside the British.
For educators seeking dramatic history course content, including battle grounds, military trails, and strategically important
buildings, 1812 AND ALL THAT provides glimpses into lives disrupted forever by the War of 1812 - a war that decided the
future of Canada.

CANADA: The Provinces and Territories
* WINNER! Award of Merit in Visual Media category, AMTEC 2006 for Media Technology in Canadian Education
Canada, one of the largest countries in the world, is a land of climatic and geographic contrasts with a great diversity of
peoples. This series portrays the beauty and variety of this vast country, depicts its rich heritage and history, and presents
some of the industries that contribute to the country's economy. The complex geographic landforms include mountain ranges,

THE FALLEN FEATHER: Canada’s Indian Residential Schools
"It is important for us to be reminded that the Residential Schools were all about the eradication of Indianess in the
country. They were designed to do away with the Indian fact in the country. And to mould us into something that obviously
we could never be." National Chief Phil Fontaine
The FALLEN FEATHER provides an in-depth critical analysis of the driving forces behind the creation of Canadian Indian
Residential Schools. Using historical source documents, survivors personal testimonies and detailed analysis from community
leaders, the film explores in detail, the Federal Governments primary motivation in the creation of these Schools. While
examining the influences of Indian wars, Sir John A MacDonald’s National Policy, Land Claims issues, the film details how all
of these events and visions contributed to the development of these Schools. The film argues that the lasting effects that
First Nations in Canada suffer today, can be traced back directly to their experiences within these schools. Finally, we as
Canadians are all challenge to re-examine our shared history. *Includes 35-page comprehensive Guide

RETURN OF THE RIVER
This incredible production is a sequel to "Heart of the People" (1997 Gemini Nomination). "Return of the River" is a story of
struggle and survival: the Huu-ay-aht First Nations on the west coast of Vancouver Island and their ongoing efforts to bring
back their river, destroyed decades ago by clear-cut logging and commercial fishing. This documentary traces the amazing
progress the Huu-ay-aht have made in their attempts to restore their river, culture and language - since embarking on this
project in the early 1900's. A powerful, emotional film which shows how strong leadership and the will of the people, can
move mountains... and rivers. The film brilliantly presents a unique model for other aboriginal peoples facing similar
dilemmas around the world: partnering with industry to undo the damage done; first steps in a brave new world facing the
daily destruction of forests and resources. "Return of the River" is required viewing for all ages, but especially anyone who
believes we're too late to start making a difference. #12448/0735 50 minutes 2008 $159.95 *Canadian Production
