The history documentary “A People’s History” on the history of Canada has exceeded all viewership projections and has become the most-watched documentary in Canadian history. But the producer of the series says financing the project was too much of a struggle and that the way projects such as this are financed in Canada is broken. “Nothing will be financed unless it can be demonstrated to sell pop or soap. It just won’t happen. The marketplace will not, operating by its own laws, produce what is necessary and good for our children and our society.” – Toronto Star 12/01/00
