Last of the Fur Traders (2017)
A Wonderful Journey
I caught this documentary by chance on AMI. It's the story of a son taking his father back to the arctic circle where he had worked for the Hudson Bay Company in the early 1950's on the trading barges, dropping off supplies and picking up furs.. During his travels he photographed and filmed the people and communities along the trade route. On his return to the towns which he first visited he presented the photos and films to the communities and the reactions of the first nations people who saw for the first time images of themselves, as children and family members in their younger years, was heart warming. One thought I had while watching was I hoped that he left copies of films and photos with the people and communities.
The Rowdyman (1972)
A Gem
I remember the night I saw The Rowdyman clearly, I was at the rink playing hockey with my friends and my older sister came and got me because we had to go see some stupid movie from Newfoundland(my dad was from Corner Brook). So I begrudgingly went to the theater with my family, and The Rowdyman isn't really a I think my life changed that night, I'm glad my parents dragged me out. I had never seen anything like it (at twelve years old). To me this was a very real reflection on how screwed up people can be, I left the theater a smile on my face and a few good lines memorized. I would highly recommend this down to earth movie.
