ABOUT:
We Lend a Hand: The Forgotten Story of Ontario Farmerettes is a 50 minute documentary film that tells the extraordinary story of the 40,000 young women who volunteered on Canadian farms and helped win the Second World War.
With no prior farming experience, their hardships were tremendous. For long months, they worked under relentless weather conditions and schedules. Yet they managed to produce hundreds of thousands of tons of food that were shipped off to the frontlines to feed starving European populations and even prisoners of war.
Through reenactments and unique archival images, We Lend a Hand recounts the story of these magnificent young women, now in their late 90s, bringing back their most cherished memories.
After 2 years in the making, the film is ready to be experienced in Toronto! Now is your time to see on the big screen the film that's selling out everywhere and has won awards for Best Documentary, Best Canadian Documentary, and Best Film About Women.
Live period music before the film by the Backseat Girls, and a filmmaker Q&A afterwards - led by Zoomer Radio host Lily Frost
This show is selling out theatres across Ontario, so get your tickets today and join TVS to celebrate their story!
