Shooting a Canadian Heritage Minute has been a bucket list job for me for as long as I can remember. Super proud of how this turned out and thanks to Charles Wahl and Mike Masters for including me!

Here is the latest #HeritageMinute that gives a glimpse in to the life of Bora Laskin—the first Jewish Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He came of age during a time of widespread antisemitism and went on to inspire real, lasting change in this country.

Shout out to the cast and crew and thanks for @historicacanada for bringing us into the Heritage Minute fold :)
