- “It is often assumed that the NFB was established to produce propaganda films during WWII. The National Film Board was also established to coordinate Canadian government film production under Mackenzie King's leadership. The founding of the national film board coincided with the start of WWII, prompting it to widen its goals from public health and education to rallying Canadians behind the war effort. The national film board was also established to assist Canadians in understanding the lives and concerns of their fellow citizens across the country.”(Herald, 2014)
- “In May 1938, John Grierson arrived in Canada with the assignment of writing a report on the Canadian government's film efforts. He quickly assessed the problem and presented his conclusions less than a month later. Grierson's assessment was harsh, and he advised that a body be established to coordinate film production. Grierson went to England, but was asked back to Canada in November 1938 to put his proposals into action. Grierson drafted the legislation that established the National Film Commission, which was eventually renamed the National Film Board.”(Matlin, 2019)
- How did the National Film Board start ?
- The National Film Board changed Canadians because it used filmmaking to help Canadians all over the country understand the difficulties that their fellow citizens were experiencing. The national film board also changed Canadians because it produced films showing what it was like to be at sea, providing Canadians a deeper understanding of the war and encouraged to participate in the war effort. As a result of this topic, many Canadians watched the propaganda film and decided to join the war effort.
