9/10
An accurate depiction of a rural Canadian community in the 30's. Also applies to the 40's and early 50's.

Warning: Spoilers
If you want to know what life was like in "the good old days" then watch this movie and see how we lived in rural areas of Canada without unemployment insurance, decent medical care, television, internet, access to higher education and on and on.

My 1st school was exactly as shown in the movie complete with a crude living space for the teacher. Strapping, as shown, was common. The inspector was as ignorant as any that I recall. Closed minds and mean spirits abounded.

I've seen the movie several times and still feel gratitude that I had a teacher like Max Brown to show me the way out.
