New Television Series about Canadian Women
by www.heroines.ca, 11/24/2005
A 13-episode television series about notable women from many different ethnic communities in Canada is being launched in the fall of 2005. The programs were directed, written and produced by journalist Susan Poizner.
Each episode in the series tells the story of an interesting woman in Canada. The television programs depict women in Canadian history who were part of a variety of communities across the country: Acadian, Japanese, African Canadian, Algonquian/Eastern Woodlands, Chinese, Doukobor, Finn, Italian, Jewish, Muslim, Rwandan, Ukranian and Vietnamese. The programs begin airing in early September, and copies can be purchased from Marlin Motion Pictures Ltd. for classroom use.
