    This land

    This land

    Bruno Engler (1971)

    One of the principal television outlets to explore environmental issues and policies of conservation, This Land evolved as the central production of the CBC Agriculture and Resources department. Although the program was in one sense devoted to celebrating the land in visual terms, it also carried a strong sense of commitment to the social issues of the environmental movement, and consequently documented conflict as well as the harmony of nature.
