A Time to Swim
Line Producer
In the suburbs of Montreal, Mutang is a family man. But in Malaysia, he was a voice of resistance for the indigenous peoples of Sarawak. The documentary A TIME TO SWIM follows Mutang as he returns home for the first time since his exile in 1992. The remote forest village, however, is not like he remembers it. Contrary to the will of the elders, cousins who once stood by him at the blockades are now welcoming the timber companies. Despite the threat of a lingering arrest warrant, Mutang can’t resist taking up his old cause. A TIME TO SWIM explores the effects of environmental destruction on the fabric of a community through the personal story of Mutang’s search for belonging in a place where the very ideas of home and heritage are slipping away.
A Gay Girl in Damascus: The Amina Profile
Producer
There is no indication that this typical online flirtation between two strangers would turn into a case of shocking international intrigue. For months, Sandra in Montreal and Amina, a Syrian-American, bond romantically and intellectually. Encouraged by Sandra, Amina launches a blog called "A Gay Girl in Damascus," representing a marginalized voice in the Middle East on politics, religion, and sexuality. Rapidly garnering worldwide attention, Amina becomes something of a star blogger. But when Syria enters the Arab uprising of 2011, Sandra receives word that Amina has been kidnapped, and soon the search for Amina becomes a global concern and an even larger mystery to solve.
Deep Québec
Producer
Every summer, Geneviève and Patrick leave Montreal for a campground close to the St. Lawrence River to explore what is deep below under the surface. They encounter creatures with names that stimulate the imagination: sea cucumbers, frilled anemones, rough-mantled doris, pink shrimps, and Atlantic wolfish. Jacques Cousteau used to say that “people protect what they love, and they love what they know.” By uncovering the beauty and the richness of the depths of the St. Lawrence, Geneviève and Patrick hope to encourage people to come to love it… and protect it.
