ECG Productions has finished work on the documentary film “When the Monuments Speak”. The documentary is dedicated to the history of the Polish community in Canada. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia: “The first Polish immigrant on record, was Dominik Barcz, came to Canada in 1752. He was a fur merchant from Gdańsk who settled in Montreal. Now Canada’s 2016 Census, states approximately 200,000 Canadians speak Polish as a mother tongue language. And there are 1,106,585 Canadians who claimed full or partial Polish heritage, making the Polish community one of the largest and most influential in Canada. Polish Canadians strongly preserve the traditions and culture of their Motherland. And they remember Poland’s dramatic history too. There are many monuments erected across Canada in honour of prominent Polish citizens or to memorialize events in Polish-Canadian history. There are seven such monuments across the country of special significance. These monuments provide a lesson in Polish history, a fascinating glimpse into the contributions of Polish citizens and immigrants to global achievements as well as to the development of Canada and the history of the Polish Canadian relationship. We are looking forward to the film premier at the Polish Cultural Center in Toronto. Stay tuned for further announcements.

ECG Productions is working on the documentary When the Monuments Speak. This project is dedicated to the rich history of Polish emigration to Canada, as well as the history of Polish-Canadian relations. You will learn about Polish traditions and customs and hear amazing personal stories the Polish community has to share. The documentary is built around the monuments associated with the pages of Polish and Canadian history. More than a dozen monuments have been erected across Canada to commemorate important and dramatic events. There is a monument to Pope John Paul II who was Polish by nationality and visited Canada numerous times; a monument to the victims of Katyn and to Polish pilots who fought in the Canadian army during the Second World War and many more!  The film will be completed and ready for distribution in 2022.
