Shot on Video 8, the first small format video documentary aired on CBC Television (1989). Mullington worked closely with composer Ed Eagan to produce a soundtrack from the audio gathered in 9 weeks of travel throughout Canada with a camcorder. The pictures were edited after the soundtrack was created. This video is funny, poignant, and visually stunning.
