Our neighbours south of the border have never, and will never have to worry about preserving their cultural identity. They are the most prolific and influential producers of audio-visual content in the world and, with that, comes the safety and privilege of knowing that your stories will always be told – and told the loudest.
That shadow looms large over the border and it’s why it’s so essential that we protect our homegrown stories. Stories that help shape our identity and give us a better appreciation for who we are and where we come from.
At Friends of Canadian Media, we are working hard to create a cultural ecosystem that preserves the rights and interests of Canadian storytellers and empowers them to tell distinctly Canadian stories.
