This week, Reel Movies continues its film series with the second episodes of The Shining Mountain and The Dark Years at Adventure Centre Wednesday and Sunday March 11 and 15.
The Dark Years is a snappy animation series on Canada during the Great Depression. 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.
