Mounties Under Fire, is a gripping journey into the heart of the RCMP during a period of profound crisis. Notorious for closing ranks, the Mounties open up to documentary cameras, revealing a painfully flawed organization fighting for its life.
It’s been a most difficult decade for Canada’s national police force. Faith in the RCMP has been shaken – by Maher Arar’s betrayal, the pension scandal, harassment cases, and too many deaths on duty. And especially by the captured-on-video taser death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport, and the Braidwood Inquiry into that death. A 2009 Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll found over 60 per cent of Canadians don’t buy the RCMP version of the events at Vancouver airport that lead to Mr. Dziekanski’s death. That number jumps to 71 per cent in BC, where it happened.


Grass roots Canadians are at the heart of a quiet revolution – couples working on “good” divorces, which acknowledge that the end of a marriage isn’t the end of a family. How to Divorce & Not Wreck the Kids takes viewers directly into the heart of one of life’s most emotionally devastating transitions. Three courageous Canadian couples end their marriages on camera – struggling to keep the needs of their children front and centre.

Leaving Bountiful is the story of systemic sexual abuse tolerated in the name of religious freedom: tolerated, and unwittingly subsidized, by the Canadian tax-payer. It is the story of a woman, raised from a tiny child inside this perverted value system, who still somehow finds the courage - and the clarity - to break free. Leaving Bountiful follows Debbie Palmer’s life growing up in the fundamentalist Mormon polygamous colony of Bountiful British Columbia, her growing disenchantment with a life of blind obedience and endless breeding, climaxing in a final act of desperation. Debbie sets her house on fire and flees with her seven children in tow. From the ashes, she must build a whole new world.
