Around the world, Canada is known for its beavers, Mounties and winter climate, but a new image of the country is emerging.
Director Albert Nerenberg, the man behind the indie-doc hit Stupidity, explores Canada’s new personality in this high-energy feature film, Escape to Canada.
The story begins in 2003 when by apparent coincidence, gay marriage is legalized and the prohibition of marijuana is removed on the same day.
Soon Canadians are not the only ones enjoying their newly forged liberties. Citizens from «The Land of the Free» flock across the border to marry their same-sex partners. Others come to smoke marijuana. AWOL U.S. army soldiers arrive seeking refugee status. To many, Canada has become a red-and-white beacon of freedom around the world. Source
