"Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Ukrainians in Canada, this documentary contains 500 photographs, and 180 original poems. Relates in considerable detail pioneer farming at the turn of the century. Resurrects life and learning in one-room country schools. Relates the trials and tribulations of the early settlers. The emphasis they placed upon education, religion, community co-operation, good neighbourliness, strong family unity, and the preservation of cultural values and ideals. Covers the rigors of the Great Depression, starvation in the midst of plenty, the clash of ideologies, the threat of World War II and fascism, and the crushed hopes and dreams of a young educator 20 years later during the McCarthy reaction, for having dared to study the causal factors of human misery and to dream about viable alternatives.... Illustrates that truth is often stranger than fiction, and that out of the ashes of incinerated dreams, new dreams are born and realized." - from dust jacket.
