1940

1. NFB — On Guard for Thee — 27 min

This chronology of Canada at war starts with the World War I assault on Vimy Ridge. After an impressionistic kaleidoscope of the intervening years and of the effect war had on industrialization, the film turns to the beginning of World War II. Canada is shown once again accepting the totalitarian challenge.
