The Deserter
By Paul Almond
This riveting tale follows 100 years of Canadian history as seen
through the eyes of a settler's family. The story is based on
Almond's great-0grandfather, a deserter from the British Navy,
who jumped ship in the middle of winter. Thomas Manning's leap
into uncertainty begins an adventure into the wilderness; he's a
brave man who risks everything for the possibility of a new, better
life.

Paul Almond
Almond is best known as a film and television
director. He has directed and produced over 130 television dramas
for the CBC, BBC, ABC and Granada Television. He directed the first
Tennessee William's play permitted on television, "The Rose Tattoo."
He wrote, directed and produced
"Seven Up," often mistakenly attributed to his assistant at the time,
Michael Apted. In the film,
a group of 14 British children aged seven, from widely ranging
backgrounds, are interviewed about
a number of subjects. The assumption was that each child's social
class predetermined their future.
Apted continued the series of six films, following the children into
adulthood at sever-year intervals to determine how their lives and
attitudes changed.
Paul Almond now lives on the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec and Malibu,
California. |
