CBC television often ran new documentaries produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Candid Eye was no exception. It’ films made use of the latest portable equipment in film-making and offered viewers the chance to see events unfold without narration. Most of the films were shot by Terence Macartney-Filgate including Blood and Fire about the work of the Salvation Army, The Back-Breaking Leaf about working the tobacco fields of southern Ontario and The Days Before Christmas.
