This feature film is a portrait of John Grierson, the first Canadian Government Film Commissioner and founder of the National Film Board in 1939. Interweaving archival footage, interviews with people who knew him and footage of Grierson himself, this film is a sensitive and informative portrait of a dynamic man of vision.

Grierson believed that the filmmaker had a social responsibility, and that film could help a society realize democratic ideals. His absolute faith in the value of capturing the drama of everyday life was to influence generations of filmmakers all over the world. In fact, he coined the term "documentary film."

    My dad, Lewis McLeod, was the cameraman on this film. He was a huge admirer of Grierson and the huge impact he had on film-making.

    This wonderful documentary brought me back to my early years at university where I had become a member of a film society and was very much influenced by these first films of the NFB and am so delighted to return to them after seeing this doc.by Roger Blais.

    I watched "This Wonderful World" avidly on Scottish television when I was a child, but had never known the breadth or depth of John Grierson beyond the little television screen where he kept me enthralled, week after week, with fascinating glimpses at the rest of the world. The famous clip of ibex leaping to safety from cliff to cliff is one I have never forgotten, and I was pleased, if not entirely surprised, that it gets an explicit mention in this documentary, itself a fitting tribute to the originator of the documentary.
