Destination Canada

(Description Coming Soon)

Six travelers embark on an adventure across six Canadian provinces, offering CNN audiences a kaleidoscopic exploration of people, place, and experience. 

Each traveler's unique perspective was reflected in a custom itinerary to bring audiences into an intimate cinematic experience and help them envision an unforgettable trip of their own. A drag queen in the Yukon, a queer Creole chef in Nova Scotia, and so on.
