Joey Smallwood - Newfoundland and Labrador
Self-dubbed "The last Father of Confederation", Smallwood led the province for a generation, but not without any controversy. Featuring rarely seen archival footage and lively interviews with former Premier Brian Tobin, former Smallwood Cabinet Minister Edward Roberts, and Smallwood's daughter Clara Smallwood Russell, the documentary captures the essence of Smallwood the man and the province that he shaped. Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, John Crosbie, also speaks about their rivaled relationship, including his bitter leadership fight with Smallwood which culminated with Crosbie’s departure from the Liberal Party.
