The Cradle Of Civilization" Madiba "I would like to purchase a copy of Madiba: The life and times of Nelson Mandela. Tobacco's Last Stand Robin Benger (Director). Christopher Sumpton (Editor) Peter Starr (Producer). "This superb documentary is a hard-hitting, revealing examination of Norfolk County's tobacco farming community as it tries to stand its ground in the face of siege from anti-smoking forces. Norfolk County is located on the north shore of Lake Erie in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Tobacco's Last Stand is an ideal film to use in order to teach students the concepts of opinion, argument, fact and bias. Highly Recommended. " UNIV OF MANITOBA CM.

Anka: Destiny The Ottawa Sun said, "Produced and directed by Christopher Sumpton, the hour-long biopic is more than television's usual highly staged thumbnail sketch of celebrity reflected back on itself. Destiny strives to be a personal statement from Anka himself. It's resonant viewing, particularly for anyone who has crossed paths with the Ottawa-born-and-raised former teen idol... Anka worked closely with Sumpton in order to avoid the usual career banalities one gets with A&E's Biography, that usually amount to little more than a resume of career highlights. Sumpton was given carte blanche while Anka himself took a no-holds-barred approach to the project. 'I knew that the film crew had my interests at heart,' Anka says. 'I was having fun with the film. My family have never been so exposed and that's what I wanted.'"
