CBC News Sunday features Murray Siple, who filmed Carts of Darkness. He talks about his film and the challenges he had of being confined to a wheelchair while making the film.

Siple is a paraplegic--the result of a car accident more than 10 years ago. He had previously made a documentary film about snowboading. He enjoys those who live at the
edge--and was attracted to the shopping cart
racers.

The segment should re-air tonight on CBC and Newsworld. It was on in the second hour this morning.

 

Shadow of the Holy Book - bit of a mess which was a shame given the interesting topic.

Wesley Willis's Joy Rides was super.

 

Nursery University was a hoot. Highly recommended.
