This film is the real thing

Notre Dame school was famous for 'turning around' boys that were borderline delinquent, many of whom went on to become business leaders and professionals. They were also famous for their tough hockey team, the hounds. This film gives a strikingly real portrait of post-depression Saskatchewan from the 1940s, and shows the loving kindness and the tough stubbornness of Athol "Pere" Murray, who founded the school and gave it the reputation that it enjoys to this day. Pere Murray, who in his earlier days founded the famous tribute to the early Jesuit missionaries at Ste. Marie Aux Hurons in Ontario, a major tourist attraction with reconstructed fort and museum, was considered crazy for wanting to build a boys school in the middle of nowhere in the dust bowl. This movie shows the mix of vision and zeal that made Notre Dame a success, now funded in good part by many of its successful graduates. For those who wonder - yes, Saskatchewan blizzards are exactly as portrayed in the film.
