Timo, the youngest of a Greek community of Funfair workers, will have to face the hardest winter together with his loved ones.

Inverno (Timo's Winter)

“I never wanted to be a teacher. All the Mutton girls were teachers and I wasn’t going to be one.” Muriel and Rena Mutton, both born into a family of teachers, recall their long careers in one-room schoolhouses, set in rural Ontario in the 1930s and 1940s. With the eye of the community keenly watching, teachers were under pressure to manage eight grades, maintain discipline without backup (cue the strap) and could see promising students eschew a high school education for much needed farm labour. Released from provincial ‘Normal Schools’ – the training ground of new teachers – these women ventured away from their own homes at a young age to educate a province.

One Room: A Family of Teachers

Putting food sovereignty to the test in the far North of Canada. Filmmaker Suzanne Crocker, living just 300 km from the Arctic Circle, removes absolutely all grocery store food from her house. For one year, she feeds her family of five, only food that can be hunted, fished, gathered, grown or raised around Dawson City, Yukon. Add three skeptical teenagers, one reluctant husband, no salt, no caffeine, no sugar and -40 temperatures. Ultimately the story becomes a celebration of community and the surprising bounty of food that even a tiny community in the far North can provide. “Inspirational! Suzanne Crocker’s amazing experiment shows that even in the far north with strong individual, family and community effort, local food can feed us year round.” - David Suzuki
