Transformation of Place: Rural Renaissance in Prince Edward County

Directed by Trevor Crowe, Crowe Productions, on location in Prince Edward County, Ontario

Prince Edward County is not the quiet rural place it once was; today there are art galleries, music halls and creative professionals dotting the landscape. Thousands of pioneering individuals who migrated to the area independently, have joined together to craft a creative community with the power to transform the whole county. This video tells the story of Prince Edward Countys rural renaissance, and how it emerges from the collective desires of local creative entrepreneurs.
