[ Arts & Entertainment ] Pierre Berton: Canadian Icon and Iconoclast
More than any other writer, Pierre Berton brought Canadian history to life. Born in the Yukon in 1920, Berton was a journalist, broadcaster and panellist on the long-running CBC-TV program Front Page Challenge . His books on the remarkable people, places and events of the past helped create a national mythology and earned him a spot on the bookshelves and in the hearts of Canadians. CBC Digital Archives presents a selection of clips about the man whose legacy lives on in the Pierre Berton Awards, an annual prize for creators of popular history.The Scene: Joaquin Phoenix
