Documentary about Canadian stuntman Ken Carter. Ideal for classroom discussions and research assignments about Canadian media and art. What do you think the appeal of watching stunt people perform is? Are the expectations of the crowd and the performer the same? Do you believe that stunt and daredevil performances are art? Discuss possible ethical issues behind such events. Are similar forms of entertainment still popular today? Have the Internet and social media changed the way we consume and perceive such media?
