- At the dawn of the Second World War, Nazism was extending its grip over South America. The Golden Angel, a Mexican masked wrestler, was recruited by the Americans in order to flush out the spies of the Third Reich and put a stop to their nefarious schemes. The Golden Angel's assignments, still classified Top Secret and therefore absent from the history books, even brought him to a pivotal confrontation with Hitler himself.
- The priest of a small Quebec village, suspected of necrophilia, hangs himself after realizing that he had fallen in love with a woman who is more dead than alive. Marc is the young priest in charge of replacing him. He quickly meets a pretty young woman, Catherine and will also meet a group of young people who have taken up residence on the banks of the river in order to clean the banks. Over the days, Catherine gets closer to Marc, and he ends up discovering the truth: she is a vampire.
- On August 9th, 1945, an atomic bomb explodes over Nagasaki. Held prisoner by the Japanese, a small group of religious missionaries, including many Canadians, survive the bombing. By forcing Japan to surrender, the bomb freed these women, yet jailed them in a prison of the mind through their traumatic memories of this nuclear holocaust.
- This documentary tells the story of the Corriveau, which was hanged in Quebec City in 1763 for murder, and whose corpse was exhibited in an iron cage for close to 40 days.
- Several lakes in North America would hide creatures as enigmatic as they are elusive. While their hypothetical presence arouses the derisive skepticism of the majority, some localities will nevertheless exploit this belief, because, as we have taught Loch Ness for almost 90 years, a monster can become a money-making attraction. But how to create a tourist activity from an imaginary being? Ultimately, even if the monster remains well hidden, it makes it possible to discover a region which, otherwise, would be less reported by tourists. It makes it possible to revitalize an often moribund economy in villages that have few resources. By keeping the monster alive, an entire community remains so.
- This feature documentary delves into the story of the Empress of Ireland, an ill-fated ocean liner that sank in the Saint Lawrence River following a collision with another ship in the early hours of May 29th, 1914. Of the 1,477 people on the ship, 1,012 died in one of history's greatest maritime disasters. This film is essential viewing for nautical and history buffs, and features footage of contemporary divers taking risky plunges into the frigid waters of the Saint Lawrence to rescue the Empress' undersea remains from oblivion.
- This documentary explores the events surrounding the greatest maritime tragedy in the history of the Pacific coast, the sinking of the Princess Sophia. The Canadian Pacific steamer had left Skagway, Alaska, on October 23, 1918, on its way to Vancouver, when a fierce blizzard hit. The ship veered off course and ran aground on a reef. Despite the proximity of several other ships, the harsh weather prevented any evacuation attempt. Almost 48 hours later, the Sophia slipped off the reef and sank. The following morning, rescue ships faced the terrible evidence: only the tip of its mast was visible. None of the 353 passengers and crewmembers survived.
- The Golden Angel (Jason Roy Léveillée) is a dauntless masked wrestler, notable as much for his exploits in the ring as for his wild adventures pitting him against creatures taken straight out of 1950s' B-movies. In this pilot episode, titled TERROR ON CAMPUS, he must protect his beloved Pamela (Isabelle Giroux) from the claws of Professor Alvarez, a scientist now transformed into a horrible mutant because of his unorthodox experiments.
- In the dying days of the Nazi regime, German U-boats fight to the end. On April 16th, 1945, the U-190 sinks the minesweeper HMCS Esquimalt, the last Canadian warship lost in the Second World War. The survivors endure six hours in the frigid water before being rescued; only twenty-seven of the minesweeper's seventy-one crewmembers will survive. On May 11, the U-190 receives a transmission from headquarters: each U-boat must surrender to Allied forces. Two Canadian escort vessels are transferred from a convoy with orders to meet and board the U-190. The U-boat is now a prize of war and her crew is made prisoner. During the summer of 1945, the U-190, now property of the Canadian Navy, sets out on an exhibition tour which takes her to the main ports on the St. Lawrence River. The submarine 2 then travels to Trois-Rivières, Quebec City, Gaspé, Pictou, Sydney and each time, her presence attracts thousands of onlookers. The Canadian Navy decides to put an end to the U-190's career on October 21, 1947. The U-boat is towed to the spot where it had sunk the HMCS Esquimalt. For the RCN, the sinking of the U-190 was the final act of a drama which marked the end of enemy incursions into the country, and a symbolic way to end the war.
