The National Film Board Of Canada, with it breadth and depth of filmmaking legacy took the 2008 Hot Docs festival by storm this year in Toronto. Hot Docs is a Canadian film festival focused on the film-form of documentaries, with an international appeal. The Documentaries weren't only hot from the NFB offerings this year, but they were also diverse in subject matter, strong in content and a two time winner for Junior (Best Canadian Feature Documentary) and FLicKeR (Special Jury Prize Canadian Documentary). 

A ‘n E Vibe was pleased to see all the NFB films sent to Hot Docs this year, as many were world premieres expressing a deep reflection on current world concerns. All the films can be found at the NFB: www.nfb.ca. Documentaries don't usually have widespread theatre releases, so it is up to each individual to seek out these dynamic and interesting films that hold a magnifying glass up to the world in which we live:

Recently, the question of where exactly my clothing is made has come to my attention. That little equal sign symbol on the back of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin's hand represents Fair Trade. Which ultimately means that wealthier countries do not bleed third world countries for cheap labour. Seriously, it's a big problem, and while my brief encounter with awareness hit me in the early 1990s with Nike, and then with the outrageous brush with humiliation Kathy Lee Gifford was subjected to (wasn't everyone else doing the same as KLG?), I had little experience with the subject matter. Then the idea of Fair Trade slid slowly into my psyche, and when your High School school-bag toting cousin is more savvy on the subject then you, it's time to strip off and read the damn labels...Read More
