Between a Rock and a Hard Place


The story of the early days of mining and forestry in Canada through the eyes of Finnish Canadian immigrants, capturing their struggle for an 8 hour work day, their love of sports, theatre, art and music – and how they continue to build Canada today.
We Dare to Dream



The wonderful stories and contributions of the Finnish people of Canada as seen through the literary works and selected interviews of authors, historians, pioneers, artists and their families.
                                            
Both films are in English
