Canadian Made

Foresting (1x4)

Air date: Jun 08, 2012

'Hewers of wood and drawers of water' is how Canadians were traditionally (and pejoratively) dismissed, abroad and (shockingly) at home too. If Canadian Made proves anything, it's that this old image is a load of beaver dung. This episode tells the stories of three inventions that utterly change our view of trees: the totem pole, newsprint and the water bomber.
