- Beauty and the Beach looks at the complex relationship between the bathing suit, social and cultural values, and women's body image in the 20th century. Beginning with the arrest of long distance swimmer Annette Kellerman in 1907 for appearing in a one-piece bathing suit, to the public outcry in the sixties over the bikini and the topless bathing suit, changing swimsuit styles not only influenced morality, but also helped chart the changing images of women in the twentieth century.

- In 1846, Paul Kane hitched a ride west via the fur-trade brigades to document what he believed to be the last remains of Native North American life "untainted" by European influence. However, when Kane returned to his Toronto studio in 1848, he largely embraced the Eurocentric idea of the "Noble Savage" in both the romantic paintings he produced and the book he published about his travels. By exploring the life and work of Paul Kane, this documentary shows how Kane's art was shaped by his mentors, his patrons and his passion. Narrated by the acclaimed North American native actor, Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves), the documentary brings to life Paul Kane's epic journey and his later struggle as a society artist using readings from his published book juxtaposed with dialogue from the "real" Paul Kane. This narrative is illustrated with spectacular scenics of the route Kane travelled, dramatic re-creations, Kane's romantic oil paintings and the authentic pieces Kane sketched in the field. Inter-woven are interviews and personal stories from a variety of people along Kane's route including curators, historians, artists, and descendants of his own family and the native people he sketched and painted.
