Hosted by Jeff Douglas (“Joe
Canadian” from the now legendary “I Am Canadian” rant), Things
That Move is a series of 50
documentaries exploring the genesis of going mobile -- from the
birch-bark canoe to the electric car, from the first skateboard
to the Hovercraft.
Things That Move is
a series about how the mixture of starry-eyed inventors, technological
innovations and historical trends has led to our traveling in ever
more interesting ways. Each fast-paced episode focuses on a unique
machine as we examine the struggles, triumphs and sometimes failures
of its history.Things That Move delves
into the inner workings of the machine itself and observes the
effects it has had on our daily lives.
Directed by some of the Canada’s best non-fiction filmmakers

Things That Move are: Bicycle, Bush
Plane, Canoe, Car-Boat, Electric Car, Wheelchair, Elevators, Fire
Engine, Hang Glider, Helicopter, Hot Air Balloon, Hovercraft, Locomotive,
