This is no doubt the best film on any artist that I have ever seen. The narration is nothing short of brilliant, creating the eerie sensation that Carr is in the room with you.BUT, I have something to relate that horrifies me. The Knowledge Network in BC showed a truncated version of the film with 40% of it edited out. This is like cutting the leg off an animal and wondering why it bleeds. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY - NOTHING! DO NOT SUPPORT HYPOCRITES WHO MUTILATE AND DESTROY CANADIAN ART!
