Childhood's End is Kensington’s first full production!

In 1980, Robert Lang founded Kensington to independently produce this film for TVO, a deeply personal documentary that investigated the underlying circumstances driving youth to suicide.

To celebrate Kensington's 40th anniversary we're highlighting a few of our diverse productions over the coming months.

Wondering what story started this journey? It was A Great Tree Has Fallen. At 22 yrs, this was filmmaker Robert Lang’s first film!

@dimitrilascaris @uOttawa @narrativaoral @cmnuo Good response, Dimitri - thoughtful and measured, unlike that of the professor who seems more interested in being right than engaging in reasoned debate.
