VISIONS OF CANADA highlights the world's second-largest country, which spans six time zones, to showcase Canada's diverse natural beauty and vibrant cities. Stunning high-definition aerial and ground footage, paired with music and informative narration, gives rich historical context to dramatic land and seascapes.
From wine country to the Hockey Hall of Fame, from the abstract beauty of the “earth paintings” formed by low tide on the Bay of Fundy to the height of commerce along the St. Lawrence River, VISIONS OF CANADA reveals a country of amazing contrasts that form a cultural and geographic mosaic. French, English, Irish and Scottish roots meet Vancouver's flourishing Chinatown. Palm trees and snow-capped mountains share a common landmass. East meets west, old meets new, tradition engages innovation and a proud past comes face to face with an exciting future. And to get closer to Niagara Falls, you’d have to be in a barrel.
