История

Pierre Berton, a resilient journalist, faced early setbacks but made his mark in Canadian media. His career spanned renowned outlets like The Vancouver Sun, MacLean’s, and The Toronto Star, where his big scoop earned him rehiring despite comic-reading "misbehaviour." Hosting "The Pierre Berton Show" from 1962-1973, he showcased his talents as a broadcaster. Authoring 46 books, his debut, "Klondike" (1958), delved into the gold rush, drawing from his father's experiences. Known for narrating Canadian history, Berton's works balance the nation's triumphs and darker aspects, earning him prestigious awards like the Stephen Leacock Medal and multiple Governor General's Awards. His legacy endures through the Pierre Berton Award, honouring exceptional presentations of Canadian history, an accolade Berton inaugurated. Reflecting on his impact, he remarked on the enduring nature of his contributions, notably through Canada's Walk of Fame.

Bruce Lee: The Lost Interview
Himself
A priceless gem from the fine folks at The Internet Archive: Bruce Lee’s only existing television interview, from 1971. Martial arts expert Bruce Lee became world-renowned for his performances in such Kung-fu classics as ENTER THE DRAGON. Now his only interview in English is available. Just after the release of his first film THE BIG BOSS, he spoke in Hong Kong with Canada's premier journalist Pierre Berton. This is the closest one can get to this extraordinary master.

Narrator
This classic short film depicts the Klondike gold rush at its peak, when would-be prospectors struggled through harsh conditions to reach the fabled gold fields over 3000 km north of civilization. Using a collection of still photographs, the film juxtaposes the Dawson City at the height of the gold rush with its bustling taverns and dance halls with the more tranquil Dawson City of the present.
