Name: Moose Jaw: There’s a Future in Our Past
Genre: Documentary
Released: 1992
Duration: 50 min

Directed by Rick Hancox

Documentary · 50m

A wryly humorous excavation of history and personal memory, Moose Jaw is a reflexive view of the filmmaker’s childhood town in the Canadian west, as a mythic symbol of nation-building and the ‘manifest destiny’ of North America. With its revitalization motto, ‘There’s a Future in Our past,” this post-colonial crash site ingests the filmmaker in its museumizing process as a once thriving rail head on the margins of (British) Empire.
