CBC is ready to unspool its fifth TV movie based on First Nations drama series North of 60. The two-hour film has already grabbed multiple honours at the 2004 American Indian Film Festival, but the audience for the series and prior movies goes well beyond the Native community with viewers from all demos, says CBC’s Ruth Ellen Soles.
North of 60: Distant Drumming features a murder mystery as well as controversy over Canadian versus Native law enforcement in the north. The movie is set to air Sunday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. Ad slots are still available.
