In an Uncertain World

Áttekintés

"In an Uncertain World" is the 17th episode of the dramatic documentary television series Canada: A People's History. The episode first aired on CBC Television on November 18, 2001. As with the rest of the series, the story was told by the people involved and included a great sense of drama. This episode covered Canadian history from 1976 to 1990, but most of the chapters were not in chronological order. Due to the nature of the period, the visuals used included photos, filming of indirect objects and archival recordings. It is the only episode to use predominantly archival colour footage with a few exceptions. Most of the words were recorded by voice actors, while some of the words were spoken by the figures themselves, and a few among this number were in the French language, with English subtitles. Some of the main themes in this episode are the Quebec sovereignty movement, the demanding for change among groups of people and the new economic changes. Special attention was placed on the uncertainties of the era. The Vignettes and Chapter descriptions support this.
