In this excerpt from Tom Radford's film A Land As Green As The
Sea, he explores the legacy of his grandparents who left
Scotland during the Highland Clearances and founded the first
newspaper in Edmonton. They would become Pulitzer Prize
winning journalists.
This film is one of the Scattering of Seeds series from White
Pine Pictures. The series celebrates the character of
immigrants who staked their futures and those of their families on
a second chance in Canada.
