We watched the show last night on TV. Overall, it was not a good review of the current state of SAR in Canada and I came away disappointed as I found the documentary lacked any real focus and seemed more of fluff reporting in my opinion.

The only good thing is they highlighted many times, is the work of the local North Shore SAR team which is about 25 miles west of us. This team is considered one of the most elite and also one of the busiest in Canada. The producers portrayed the SAR volunteers work very well but also depicted the toll it takes on families and relationships when their spouses are gone for hours and days out in the field.

That said, the show could been more in depth with other SAR teams across Canada who deserve just as much recognition. Especially since NS SAR is already a very high profile team, not only in the outdoor communities, but also with the general population and make the 6:00 pm newsreels frequently.
