Canada Remembers : documentary series
Title:
Canada Remembers : documentary series
Summary:
Since 1995, a world famous Air Show is held in Western Canada to pay tribute to Canada's World War II and Korean War veterans; these documentaries provide lasting and compelling stories of those glory days, with vintage planes and the Air Show's activities as a unique backdrop. A powerful reminder of the tragedies of war and why we must always remember those who risked and sacrificed their lives for freedom. Lest we forget. The "Canada Remembers" documentary series is a dynamic and engaging teaching tool to assist students in learning about Canadaś war history through the eyes of young people and our Veterans. Through the dispassionate description of their role, the laughter of their friendships and good times, and the re-experience of the horror of death and destruction, their message is clear: war is senseless.
