Willie: Upcoming documentary about first Black man in the NHL

[Jason]

This upcoming documentary is sure to be fascinating even to this non-hockey guy. It'll be screening at the Canadian International Film Festivial early next year. If anybody is interested in a road trip to see it, please let me know. I'll pay half your gas.

That's even better! Are you considering going, Bill?

I don t think so. $50  plus the cost/time to get to downtown Toronto,  sort of rules that out.

Yeah, it's a bit expensive, but I'd cover your gas fully for that. However, probably be easier in the Spring financially for me. And it could even be that in January, it will be at the Peterborough Film Festival (I forget the actual name of ours). And it's quite inexpensive and lots of other films are available.

Thanks, Dougal! The Agenda is an amazing program. I always find it informative and provocative. And unlike some interview programs, it's evidence-based with actual experts. They're not just trying to find all sides of an issue that really doesn't have multiple sides like climate change.
