Here's another short subject from the National Film Board of Canada on what someone must have thought was a fascinating subject: harvesting potatoes in New Brunswick.

Despite the obvious competence with which this was made, it's a dull little movie about a subject which is far more practical than cinematic. I suspect that someone thought the NFB was making too many movies about Curling and not enough about New Brunswick. That was the mediocre best they could do to correct that.

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.
