LUCY: THE STOLEN LIVES OF ELEPHANTS is the first documentary film which reveals the plight of elephants in captivity and investigates the lies that zoos tell an unknowing public under the guise of wildlife conservation and education. At the heart of the film is Lucy, Edmonton Valley Zoo’s lone and ailing 48-year-old elephant and the people fighting to send her to a sanctuary in California where she can live for the first time in decades with the company of other elephants.
Lucy’s roots are traced back to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka, where elephants are exploited as a tourist attraction and many are sold to zoos throughout the world. The film contrasts the difference for elephants who live in zoos with footage of elephants in their natural habitat and in sanctuary. Meanwhile, zoos worldwide falsely boast of their critical role in education and preventing extinction of the many animals that are threatened in the wild.
The film features a story of hope and a glimpse at a possible future for Lucy through the story of Kuky and Pupy, a pair of female elephants and their unusual, evolving zoo in Buenos Aires. As they wait to be transferred to a sanctuary, another pair of elephants in Argentina are relocated to the Global Sanctuary for Elephants in Brazil.

Season 2 premieres Wednesday, January 15 (9 p.m.) on CBC and CBC Gem. ALLEGIANCE is a high-octane police procedural drama uniquely set in Surrey, BC. The CBC Original series from Lark Productions in association with Universal International Studios stars Supinder Wraich (Sort Of) as Sabrina Sohal and Enrico Colantoni (English Teacher) as Vince Brambilla. The series focuses on identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system.
Season 2 sees Sabrina joining the Serious Crimes Unit of the CFPC and has six months to prove she's got what it takes to be a detective. She’s paired with a newly transferred partner who has a decade of experience on her and a very different approach to the job. Sabrina is determined to prove herself worthy of her new position and take down the man responsible for framing her father for treason, while navigating a complex love life and an equally complicated family life. Throughout the season, she’s torn between powerful allegiances — to the police force, despite its flaws; to her family, despite their conflicting principles; to the community where her values are deeply rooted; and to an unexpected romance that must be kept secret.
Season 2 welcomes Samer Salem (The Expanse, The Boys) to the ensemble cast as a series regular, portraying Detective Corporal Zak Kalaini. Plus, showrunners Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern (Flashpoint, X Company) are back at the helm of ALLEGIANCE, a series created by Anar Ali (Transplant). Returning series regulars include Stephen Lobo, Adolyn H. Dar, David Cubitt, Crystal Balint, Toby Levins, Melanie Papalia, and Andres Joseph.

The 1st Reviews team had the pleasure of chatting with Allan Hawco and Josephine Jobert about starring in the new procedural drama, Saint-Pierre.
Synopsis :
After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician’s nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland). Fitz’s arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève “Arch” Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. SAINT-PIERRE is a police procedural with French star Josephine Jobert (Death in Paradise) as Arch and Canadian star Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle, Caught, Jack Ryan) as Fitz, and James Purefoy (Rome, Sex Education, Pennyworth) rounding out the stellar team. As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together… a veritable crime-fighting force.
