Produced by Barna-Alper Productions Inc. in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada, in association with History Television, with the participation of the Canadian Television Fund, with the assistance of the Canadian Film or Television Tax Credit and the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credits.
A look at the impact of the Great Depression years on Canada and its people. What started with an economic crash in 1929 would end only with the guns of World War II. Of the many stories and legacies of the Great Depression, perhaps its greatest is that it created a modern Canada: more questioning of the power of government, inclined toward social policies like welfare and health care, and prepared to play a role in international affairs and economies.
