The Battle of Vimy Ridge
The Battle of Vimy Ridge
Far from Home: Canada and the Great War - Part 2
A two-hour documentary which recreates for the viewer one of the greatest battles in Canadian military history. The film was made to show that Canadian character at its best, forging an identity for a country that before the First World War had been seen only as a British colony - an identity and a character that became recognized and respected throughout Europe.
