TV STORY TELLING SERIES
Truth
or Tale - myths and legends of the Canadian prairies, airs on SCN
(Saskatchewan Communications Network) 13 episodes, beginning September,
2007 Created and produced by Framed Films Inc, Regina, SK
Joan is featured in episodes one and three.
Stories, myths, and legends have been passed down in the “oral tradition” for centuries by all cultures, and have evolved as they have been passed from one storyteller to another. What is of interest in this series is how these stories can change from person to person, and still remain as captivating and as relevant as the first time they were told. Truth or Tale celebrates the spectacular people of the prairies, and the stories they have to tell. The focus for this series is placed upon prairie “storytellers”.
