Description: May be purchased from Canada. Canada has been at war since September, 1939. Factories were converted to war production, new plants were built, and from them came guns and tanks and shells. Canada became a haven for English children born to Nazi prisoners, a school for airmen from the whole British Empire, a hospital for the wounded, men were garrisoned overseas. Food patrol and rationing were instituted, men and women registered for national service. But the film is more than a story of production. It is a picture of the resolute spirit of Canadians. The thousand days from 1939 to 1942 were days of expansion and preparation, of holding off while getting ready. "But now it is our turn to strike, and we shall strike hard." "Dialog difficult."
