Listen in as Bill Roberts interviews Claude Joli-Coeur, the government film commissioner and chair of the National Film Board.

It has developed substantial Canadian film talent over the years and has told myriad Canadian stories to Canadians, and the world – and has some cool plans to help celebrate Canada 150.
