Series Reviews

"Raymont calls it a 'celebration of diversity' - 13 half-hour films about specific and personal immigrant experiences, told by a collection of established film-makers who have a personal stake in the history they're relating. It's about people who have gambled on Canada and reaped rewards for themselves and their adopted country."

- Tony Atherton, Ottawa Citizen - January 14, 1998



"...A Scattering of Seeds explores Canada's past through deeply personal accounts of differing sets of immigrants."
"A rare feel-good series about our country."

- Jim Bawden, Starweek magazine
