The Best Damn Fiddler from Calabogie to Kaladar

| 49 min

The setting for this drama is a logging community, focusing on a man who chooses the unfettered life and uncertain income of an itinerant bush worker, even though it means that his family lives poorly as a result. The film is a study of the effects on family life of isolation and deprivation. Features a wonderful performance from a young Margot Kidder.

This film contains scenes of nudity and/or sexuality. Viewer discretion is advised.
