There aren’t many corporations that I have committed my entire heart to for life. But the CBC is special to me in so many ways. It is partially what makes me a Canadian—literally. I wouldn’t have been born here if it weren’t for the CBC. My father, who’s an editor and filmmaker, had the opportunity to work in London, England on the film “Jesus Christ Superstar.” (It was also shot in his home country of Israel.) While working in London, he met a Canadian who immediately saw his talent and encouraged him to relocate to Canada, where he was assured, he would be hired with the national broadcaster. He did and he was. And he stayed, and then had me. So thanks CBC, without you, I probably wouldn’t have been born here.

Elianna Lev describes what the CBC means to her in a preamble to an interview with Steve Pratt. He father, Avi Lev, worked as an editor and producer at The National, The Fifth Estate, and the Journal. Now he’s working as an independent filmmaker. “He’s currently working on a film about the depletion of the Himalayas,” Lev said.
