review: “Greetings from Mackenzie, B.C.”
Director: Andrew McIntosh
Running Time: 12 minutes
Genre: Documentary
Greetings from Mackenzie, B.C. is a documentary about the title mining town and the impact the financial downturn has had on it. While mediocre in its technical elements, it is a look at the economic crisis that most people outside of the remote regions of Canada would never consider otherwise. While the image doesn’t always match what is being said, the narration nevertheless speaks to the most simple, human impact of something so vast and global we often miss the down to earth implications.
