GDP - THE ART OF BEING CHRISTIAN

http://gdp.nfb.ca
Charismatic and gifted, Christian was born into an artistic Windsor family. Following a stint in the Big Apple, he returned to the banks of the Detroit River, forging a career as a painter and designer. He delights in grand gestures expressions of his jovial nature. When Im feeling good, I kick ass. When Im uninspired, I start to sink. The economic crisis has put a damper on the Windsor art scene and Christian is getting restless. His giant paintings have been bought and paid for but his clients had to return them for lack of space.

I absolutely love the painting/sculpture he had above his bed.

So, he does not get inspired by the enviourment his living in. Materialism is usually not a good enviounment eighter!

I really liked this.

It's hard to pin-point why but I think it's the simplistic nature of someone sharing a bit of their life. Times are tough but we can't let it get us down, we have to keep marching on.

You should really ask that guy for an MP3, that was an absolutely amazing song. Good vocals too.

Weird, this was my favorite clip of the entire series, and yet it got the worst rating of any...

I guess Canada has been hit as hard as the States have.

The unemployment rate, according to some statistics, is about to breach 10% in the U.S., and it is probably going to be another couple years before these numbers start turning around. Employment is always the last thing to improve in a recession.

At least neither Canada nor the U.S. has had it as bad as Iceland. Iceland's recession has turned into a horror story.

Did the clients who returned his paintings demand their money back or was it just temporary?
