The Making of 'The Wars' (2020)

Iconic Canadian acting and producing talents look back on the making of the feature film THE WARS, directed by Robin Phillips and adapted for the screen by Timothy Findley from his award-winning novel of the same name. Produced in 1983 and featuring a stellar cast of Canadian actors and an original score by Glenn Gould, THE WARS made its return to public screens in 2020 after a 35 year absence. The film follows Robert Ross (Brent Carver), a young Canadian from a privileged family who enlists in WW1 after the death of his intellectually disabled sister in an attempt to escape his grief and the social norms of Edwardian society.
