Myths for Profit: Canada's Role in Industries of War and Peace 
Some would have us believe that Canada is an altruistic peacemaker helping people around the world.  But, is this accurate?  This documentary examines how this mythology is maintained and who gains by perpetuating it.  By understanding the systems of power in Canada we can challenge how they operate and move forward to create change.
