2001 Visions from the Wilderness: The Art of Paul Kane profiles the fascinating and paradoxical life of North American wilderness artist, Paul Kane.

By exploring his life and his work, the documentary shows how Kane’s art was shaped by his mentors, his patrons and his passion. The documentary premiered on Bravo!, with Canadian broadcasts on APTN (Aboriginal People’s Television Network), ACCESS-The Education Station, Canadian Learning Television, Saskatchewan Communications Network and the Knowledge Network.
