Lester B. Pearson

L’aventure incroyable des hommes qui ont fait Terre des Hommes. Le temps a passé, les langues se sont déliées, tout peut émerger, telle l’île Notre-Dame des eaux du Saint-Laurent. Grâce à un accès sans précèdent à plus de 80 000 documents provenant du fonds d’archives d’Expo 67 et aux témoignages émouvants et non censurés des acteurs de première ligne, les cinéastes nous font revivre l’insoutenable compte à rebours qui mènera au grand jour de l’ouverture, le 28 avril 1967. On reconnait enfin l’apport exceptionnel des artisans d’Expo 67, dont le publicitaire Yves Jasmin et l’homme d’affaires Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien.

Telescope is a Canadian documentary series which aired on CBC Television between 1963 and 1973. The series was hosted by Fletcher Markle, which profiled notable Canadian people from celebrities to the unknown, who made a difference. Starting in September 1966, Telescope was the first regular colour broadcast in Canada. It's producer was Sam Levene. In 2008, CBC offered 10 episodes of Telescope on their Digital Archives website. The episodes are from the 1970-1971 season, and feature new host Ken Kavanagh. Among those profiled were game show host Monty Hall, publisher Mel Hurtig, journalist Pat Carney, actor John Vernon, author Farley Mowat, amusement park impresario Patty Conklin, and underwater explorer Joe MacInnis. A 1970 episode featured actor Donald Sutherland including early footage of his son Kiefer. Mentalist Uri Geller followed a week later by Ray Hyman and Jerry Andrus who explained and duplicated Geller's "paranormal" feats.
