ANNE INNIS DAGG

IS Senior Academic Advisor, Anne Innis Dagg was featured on CBC Ideas Wednesday, April 27, 2011 regarding her adventures in South Africa.

Wild Journey: The Anne Innis Story

"At the age of 23, Anne Innis was the first person to study African wildlife in its natural habitat. She blazed a trail that was distinctly Canadian, like her father, the political economist, Harold Innis. Sandy Bourque's documentary, told through Anne's eyes, is the story of one woman's courage and determination to study wild giraffe in South Africa in the 1950s. She offers a provocative witness to the terrible ease and disturbing normality of what would later come to be known as apartheid."
