Shelley D @SDoyle 4d "We Lend a Hand" is a fascinating look at a forgotten/unknown part of the agricultural history of Ontario. It illustrates the hard work and the value of the work done by the amazing Farmerettes. A must-see documentary! See more George A @RT06031556 Apr 24 Our family attended a screening of We Lend of Hand at the Solina Community Centre and were thrilled to learn about the Farmerettes. The film does an excellent job of portraying the experiences of the young ladies who participated in the program; a part of the war effort that has, until now, never really been recognized. Well done! See more Diane S @DianeSoper Apr 20 Oh my gosh, I’m so glad I made the drive to Ailsa Craig to catch this screening! It was absolutely incredible! The history they uncovered is mind-blowing, and everyone involved did an amazing job making it happen. This documentary should be a must-watch for every high school in the country! We so need to make this happen for screening in my area!!! Thank you Bonnie for your dedication to this project!! See more Santa W @RT09100575 Apr 14 What an enlightening documentary. I never heard about the Farmettes until viewing the film. Such an important part of our Canadian history and should be shared in schools. The film left you with an overwhelming amount of pride and gratitude for the women who stepped up and helped provide for Canadians and other countries during the time of war. Highly recommend viewing this film. See more Carrie Anne P @RT70556333 Mar 22 This documentary should be included in high school and / or junior high school curriculums. Our grandmas should be celebrated for stepping up to Lend a Hand during the war. They gave their time to help with the harvesting of fruits and vegetables that were desperately needed for overseas rations and to feed us here in Canada. Their story has never been told. I never knew my grama had made such an effort. I knew most of the tale of my grandparents meeting but not the why grama was going to the dance hundreds of kilometers from home. There was so much more to that chance meeting. Just as the other young women who became farmerettes had so many more stories to be shared. I loved the film. even suggesting another story frmerettes y grandma See more Barb C @RT56610049 Mar 12 What a wonderful documentary! I had never heard of the Farmerettes before. Interesting true story that was informative, educational, and at times emotional and funny. These girls were some real characters and everyone should know the story of their accomplishments - a must watch! See more Read all reviews
