This is one of my favorite films from childhood. We used to watch it at school. Someone talked about it on twitter and I decided to see if I could find it. I just found out it was directed and filmed by Bill Mason, amazing. Well here it is, enjoy.
Directed by Bill Mason
Based on Holling C. Holling’s book of the same name, Paddle to the Sea is Bill Mason’s film adaptation of the classic tale of an Indian boy who sets out to carve a man and a canoe. Calling the man “Paddle to the Sea,” he sets his carving down on a frozen stream to await spring’s arrival. The film follows the adventures that befall the canoe on its long odyssey from Lake Superior to the sea.

Wonderful video. I never saw the movie, I only read the story about a year ago. Fun story.
