Book
Canada unscripted : conversations with Canadian media icons / edited by Vic Sarin.
Canada Unscripted: Conversations with Canadian Media Icons showcases 21 of the most influential voices in Canadian film and broadcasting. In these intimate and often surprising interviews, celebrated actors, journalists, directors, and producers share stories that are raw, funny, and deeply revealing. At the heart of the book are the CBC and the National Film Board: two institutions that helped shape Canada's cultural identity. These conversations offer behind-the-scenes insight into landmark productions, pivotal news moments, and the personal journeys that shaped a generation of storytellers. With reflections that range from the political to the poetic, this is a book for readers who care about media, memory, and the power of creativity. The interviews were conducted by Vic Sarin, one of Canada's most acclaimed filmmakers, whose career has spanned continents, genres, and generations. With warmth and insight, Vic draws out the essence of each storyteller.
