Coming to theatres today, Friday, September 18: BEING CANADIAN
Rob Cohen’s survey of all things Canadiana had its world premiere at Hot Docs. It went on to screen at Nantucket, and Traverse City.
I previously wrote about the doc for Nantucket’s program, saying:
Like many who have made it in Hollywood, comedy writer Robert Cohen (THE SIMPSONS, THE BIG BANG THEORY) has long harbored a dark secret: He’s Canadian. Realizing that his American friends and colleagues dismiss his homeland as little more than a joke, Cohen sets out on a coast-to-coast journey to dispel the stereotypes of self-effacing, igloo-dwelling, beer-swilling yokels, and to show off the best that Canada has to offer. Drawing on the hilarious insight of a star-studded group of fellow Canucks, including Mike Myers, Seth Rogen, Will Arnett, and Dave Foley, Cohen rediscovers his own national pride in a country that’s more than just “America’s hat.”
