Quote:
"[John Grierson] sent a telegram to me to come to Ottawa and I began work immediately on Peoples of Canada. It was a wonderful time to work with Grierson and a wonderful experience. I'd bring my research papers in and he'd put them aside and say, 'I know how you work Laura. Go ahead.' Well this was so inspiring that all of us worked, I'm sure, at least ninety-six hours a day. In fact on one occasion I didn't go to bed for a week because I wanted to show him my workprint before he left on a trip [...]. So it wasn't because anyone said you had to work like that. It was because we were so inspired and loved it."
-- Laura Boulton
