The National Parks Project TV series is an extraordinary exploration of Canada’s national parks through the eyes of the country’s most innovative filmmakers, soundtracked by Canada’s best and most acclaimed musicians.

Each episode is a documentary-style journey through the park, formed by two major components: a profile of the park shot by the filmmakers and scored by the musicians; and a unique look at the process through which the musicians and filmmakers collaborate, react to and learn about these unique spaces.
