Produced by the National Film Board of Canada for the Centennial Commission.
A helicopter was used throughout this exploration of the ten provinces. The result of this off-the-ground portraiture is a view that is big, beautiful, and continuously engrossing. Nothing here is quite the same as seen before, even Niagara Falls. Canadians will be thrilled by this Panavision view of familiar territory. Made for international distribution for the Canadian centennial.
