From Ryan Reynolds' John Candy documentary to North of North
Stories That MADE Us · Season 1 · Episode 3
The final episode takes George from Toronto to Iqaluit, Nunavut, asking what it truly means to tell a Canadian story. Jay Baruchel and Emily Hampshire remind us that a culture unseen in its own art is no culture at all, while Ryan Reynolds explores why our stories are worth fighting for — not because they aren’t American, but because they are something entirely their own. And in Iqaluit, the creators and cast of North of North show us what’s possible when a community dares to build something from the ground up and bring Indigenous and Inuit stories to screens around the world. Canada’s stories are as vast and varied as the country itself, and this episode proves it.
