Swan Song

Karen Kain spent 50 years with the National Ballet of Canada as a student, ballerina, and Artistic Director. “Swan Song” presents a candid, behind-the-scenes look at Kain’s final production as she directs an updated version of Swan Lake, the classical ballet that first brought her to the world’s attention in 1971. The stressful, chaotic days of rehearsals lead to opening night and the crowning achievement of an extraordinary career in dance.

Someone Lives Here

The story of Khaleel Seivwright, a Toronto carpenter who made portable “tiny shelters” to provide safer, more stable housing for the city’s homeless population during the first winter of the COVID pandemic. From a one-man operation started in his garage, the project grew into a 40-person volunteer crew supported by over $200,000 in donations. His efforts attracted international media attention and strong opposition from city officials.
