Who Are We?

Who Are We?

1974 · 10 min · ★ 10.0 · Animation

Canadians in search of the national identity will not find it fully fleshed in this film. An animated cartoon, it sees Canadians as pragmatists, adaptable to whatever climate or history place in their way. It is a boisterous, bubbling analysis of the Canadian character and, although it may not answer the question of the title, it does leave the feeling that being Canadian is not so exhausting as one might expect.

Directed by Zlatko Grgić · Written by Don Arioli
