Taking a deliberately post-modern approach to the CBC and Canadian culture, the series raids the bulging vaults of the national broadcaster. Viewers will see images of Canada's past five decades, ranging from the long-running celebrity quiz show Front Page Challenge through '70s pop star Rene Simard to stirring footage of legendary hockey icons. Deliberately using a stylistic melange, the series will use contemporary footage shot in Betacam video and Super 8 with old kinescopes from the '50s, black-and-white footage of the '60s and the more standard color format from the '70s through the '90s.
