K9 Mounties follows the 17 week training program at the RCMP’s Police Dog Service Training Centre – and then follows up with 3 of the graduates as they put their training into action in the real world.

The dogs are carefully bred, specially selected dogs – mainly German and Belgian shepherds. They  are matched to  the personalities of their RCMP Police Dog Service handlers, and together, they go through an internationally recognized training program demanding self-motivation, tenacity and fitness from both dogs and handlers

Teamwork is the goal – to find lost people, track wrongdoers, search for explosives and drugs, and  protect VIPS.

From puppies to police dogs, K9 Mounties is a six part half hour series following an elite group of dogs and handlers.  We will run beside the dogs and handlers, tracking their progress, feeling their success and failures as they hone their skills, and bond into a team prepared to meet the challenges of the real world.

Co-Produced and Developed with Sir Perphoulous Films

Alberta sits right on the border between the Rockies and the Prairies; creating a land as diverse in nature as it is in First Nations people.  Standing in one area you can see the mountains, the hills and the flats, at the same time you can be talking to the Dene, the Stony, the Cree and the Ojibway.    It’s also home to two central Cities, Calgary and Edmonton, where First Nations people from all over Alberta congregate; many of whom are searching for their roots.

Season two of Back in the Day will follow six men and women from these two cities, out into the Diverse Northern area of the province where they will be shown how to live as their ancestors did,  and given a chance to reconnect to their history.

SPERO

The "War on Terror" started 50 years ago...on the mind of a woman.

IN 1953 the United States, Canada, and Britian signed the Nuremberg Code forbidding psychological torture and expirimentation on any citizenry. That same year the Central Intelligence Agency started Project MK-ULTRA.

It is 1957 Montreal, Anne, a middle-class housewife, regresses into depression, sexual inhibition, and lack of self-worth after a stillbirth. Following three years of therapy and pills, Anne attempts suicide and is signed in to the prestigious Allan Memorial Psychiatric Institute in Montreal where she becomes a patient of the world-eminent psychiatrist Dr. Ewen Cameron. Without her consent, Anne is subjected to strange and unconventional "treatment' : electro-shock, doses of LSD, and hour-upon- hour of drug-induced sleep while listening to repetitive verbal messages.

SPERO is a psychological drama set within the frenzied paranoid anti-Communist world of the 1950s; it excavates the dangers of political and military collusion and intrusion into the medical world in search of the ultimate 'mind-control" method.
