Phenomenal news. These extras that will deliver a sense of Defalco's wider filmography. In a world where CBC licensing wasn't impossible this could have the landmark 1st episode of Wojeck with Johnny Yesno as well. But while we wait for the CBC to loosen up, buy this and watch it front to back.

Martin Defalco’s COLD JOURNEY is a deeply empathetic and bracingly unsentimental portrait of Canada’s now-infamous residential school system and its devastating impact on First Nations youth. Now available in a deluxe 50th anniversary special edition. vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...
