- Adding an intriguing Canadian twist to a universally appealing story of teenage trials, My American Cousin begins as bored 12-year-old Sandy (Margaret Langrick) is preparing for another long summer of cherry picking when suddenly her older, James Dean-cool cousin Butch (John Wildman) arrives unexpectedly from California in a red Cadillac convertible. Sandy and her pre-teen friends fall madly for Butch's rock 'n' roll swagger, but he's more interested in making time with the local girls and getting in fistfights than in playing chauffeur to Sandy. Both have a lot to learn about life and each other, but united under the strict parental rule of Sandy's dad, they vow to make this summer a truly unforgettable experience. Capturing the restlessness of youth with a fresh and funny perspective, Wilson's genuinely charming period piece is forever reaching for lost innocence as it playfully contrasts Canadian and American attitudes. My American Cousin has remained a consistent favourite for Canadians and non-Canadians.

- A number of British Columbia based athletes, both professional and amateur, and both active and retired, talk about what home means to them. Their perspectives are often in light of needing to be in a certain geographic location due to their sport, having done quite a bit of travel for that sport, and how participating in that sport has affected their decision of "home" in a retirement life. These perspectives somewhat apply also to a spoken word poet, who is on a stage like the athletes, but to some extent has a broader choice of home in relation to his work. The final interview is with an author, who has a totally different perspective in being able to choose wherever he wants to live in terms of his work, and in this specific incident what home actually means to him in light of that.
