Name: Max Ward
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 50 min
Cast: Richard Gilbert, Max Ward

Max Ward was a giant in Canadian passenger aviation. Alas, this movie doesn't talk about what most Canadians think of Ward, and with affection, which is that he introduced consistent semi-luxury service to air travel at reasonable prices. Instead, the movie is taken up with the dreary business of Ward, in endless Ottawa committee meetings, trying in vain to get regulators to free his airline to compete on an equal footing with the Canadian duopoly of much bigger carriers. That is an important part of the Max Ward story, but how he went from a bush pilot to creating one of the world's most respected international airlines is the interesting story that viewers almost certainly expected and don't get here.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
