Making Movie History: Evelyn Spice Cherry is a fascinating dive into the life and work of one of the early female directors at the NFB. The film's tone is reflective, almost reverent, as it captures Cherry's experiences during a tumultuous period—the Second World War. The pacing is steady, allowing viewers to really absorb her insights and thoughts on creating documentaries in such a charged atmosphere. It's not just about her contributions; it touches on themes of gender and resilience in a male-dominated industry. There's a certain rawness to the archival footage and the way Cherry recalls her journey, which adds to its appeal. It feels like an intimate chat rather than a formal documentary, and that personal touch makes it distinctive.
