THE NEW CANADA ON CBC

Alexander Carson’s 2016 short film The New Canada was recently acquired by CBC for broadcast and digital distribution. You can now see it online here

The New Canada is a meditation on friendship, place, and possibility, as Sal, a woman in her twenties, travels home to Toronto after a visit with her brother in Buffalo, NY. It’s a tale of two cities, two countries, and two versions of Sal, as she contemplates her past and future at a tipping point.

The New Canada was first aired on CBC television as part of Canadian Reflections on September 10, 2017.
