Stories we tell

In this inspired, genre-twisting film, Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets behind a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions.

Toxic trespass

"When Canadian filmmaker Barri Cohen discovers that her ten-year-old daughter's blood carries carcinogens like benzene and the long-banned DDT, she travels to toxic hotspots to uncover startling clusters of deadly diseases, as well as evidence that industrialized countries are conducting large-scale toxicological experiments on their children. In the southern Ontario cities of Windsor and Sarnia, everyone seems to know children who have suffered from respiratory illnesses, leukemia, and brain tumors. And the Native Canadian reserve of Aamjiwnaang has an astounding birth rate problem that officials can't afford to ignore. This empowering film is one woman's quest for truth."--Container.
