Almost four years ago, in December of 2005, I was filming a documentary in a place I'd never heard of -- Antigonish. It's a small town in northeastern Nova Scotia that may not be known to a lot of Canadians. But if you go up to somebody in Africa or South America and mention you're Canadian, don't be surprised if they ask, "Oh, are you from Antigonish?" Outside of North America, Antigonish is famous because of Father Dr. Moses Coady and the Coady International Institute. Fr. Coady commanded the attention of Canada and the world from the 1930s to the 1950s. He was a Catholic priest, a complex personality, and the pride of Nova Scotia. He shook the lives of ordinary people out of their complacency during the Depression years by urging them to take ownership of their lives. He roared that democracy and peace will be achieved when the people learn to participate in the economic, social and educational forces that condition them.
