The original footage ended up tucked away in England, largely forgotten.A collaborative project has been working to recover the film&apos;s source material for Canadians and the world. Some of the best segments will be shown April 3rd in a screening booked at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. To learn more, Lucy Martin reached filmmaker and event organizer Kevin Nikkel in Winnipeg.
