Through original and archival footage, film clips, photographs, interviews with friends and foes, this documentary probes the singular career of Canadien filmmaker Budge Crawley (1911-1987), best known for his Academy Award-winning documentary feature The Man Who Skied Down Everest. From his early short films to his ultimately unsuccessful attempts to create a private, self-sustaining feature-film industry in Canada, the program explores the life of a man who initiated many Canadian film-industry firsts.
