- SON OF A FARMER seeks to portray the on-going doctor shortage through one physician's struggle to adequately serve rural communities on Northern Vancouver Island. Dr. Prean Armogam, an Indian-Zulu South African immigrant, has served as the resident family doctor in Port McNeill (Canada) for 16 years. With doctor shortages at an all-time high across the country, forcing emergency rooms in rural communities to close down for days, Prean works 12-16 hours a day for up to 20+ days in a row to keep up with the demand for primary care in the region. Prean now faces not only personal health issues exacerbated by the failing system, but poorly veiled racism when attempting to make structural improvements to better serve both patients and health care workers. With no formal plan set forth by the government to remedy this physician crisis, Prean is left in a tight spot not knowing how to continue to care for his community.

- In the throes of chaotic modern life, an overwhelmed woman must confront her unspoken fear of death by talking to a departed soul, unraveling a new outlook on life. "You only live twice once when you're born, and once when you look death in the face." Quote by Ian Fleming.
