    I saw it up at Fantasia Fair last year, it is a good movie about our heritage.

    I've seen it also. I think it's a worthwhile watch. I was glad to see someone do it.

    I don't see any mention of it on the PBS website but you might want to start checking the listings for you local PBS station. Or just call them and ask when it's supposed to be shown.
