Uitzenddatum: Nov 16, 2010

'Kanata: An Irish Story' explores the history of the Irish in Canada in a new light through voices from Newfoundland to Northwest Territories. The film is a family album of individuals some famous; others should be and some just want to be heard on topics of stereotypes, religion, politics and culture which has been generally ignored in the Canadian mosaic. The viewer will meet individuals from the north and south of Ireland and from the Jewish, Protestant and Catholic cultures providing personal accounts to create a gentle framework of history telling. 'Kanata: An Irish Story' is the forgotten story of the Irish in Canada/Kanata.
