Yes. Actually, if you speak to some people at The Documentary Channel itself, they would tell you that they don't know what's happening at this point, because of all the negotiations, etc.
All I can say as an independent filmmaker is that they've been one of our greatest allies. They don't have anything in their mandate saying they have to do feature documentaries or point-of-view documentaries. That's what they do. They invest very heavily in a small number of high-profile feature documentaries. Manufactured Landscapes is a recent example. It has become a home where, especially internationally, when you travel around the markets and everything, they've become a centrepiece for good, thought-provoking, audience-drawing documentary.
So the question becomes, how will the boat get rocked when the CBC comes in and works with the current establishment? It's still an open question. I don't know exactly how it's going to end up. At the end of the day, we've certainly tried to get into discussions with the CBC, the previous management especially, to figure out how we could work together to make it into something, but with the current slate of more lifestyle and reality programming on the main network, how much is that going to influence The Documentary Channel, especially when the definition of “documentary” is a bit flexible when it comes to the CBC?
