Souvenir of Canada is a spectacular documentary special about who we are as Canadians at the dawn of the 21st century. One of our greatest national voices, Douglas Coupland, acts as our tour guide on a humourous journey that "makes us stop, look and marvel at who we are, what we have, and where we might be going." Souvenir of Canada tells a story about a nation searching for itself, and all that is unique about itself, in the darnedest of places, objects and ideas.
