Professor Norman Cornett: 'Since when do we divorce the right answer from an honest answer?'(Trailer)
With this feature documentary, Alanis Obomsawin pays tribute to Dr. Norman Cornett, a popular Religious Studies professor dismissed by McGill University in 2007. Addressing subjects as varied as palliative care and First Nations issues, Cornett won the respect of students with his unconventional approach. Among the many participants in his classroom debates were former Canadian prime minister Paul Martin, jazzman Oliver Jones and actor Ethan Hawk.
