A STAGE TO TELL YOUR STORY: CLARA’S BIG RIDE DOCUMENTARY

Grades 7-12 2014 CC 45 min CTV
Part catalyst for change, part epic road movie, “Clara’s Big Ride” is a rousing documentary that tackles the profound conversation on
mental health and the stigma surrounding mental illness. Crossing every region of the country, the documentary features brave stories
from Canadians whose lives are touched by Hughes’ historic ride.

Over the course of the documentary, “Clara’s Big Ride” captures the voices of a group of heroic young Canadians as they tell their
stories of living with mental illness. These voices include: Stacey, a teacher from Lindsay, Ont.; Marisa, a Media Relations Coordinator
from Montréal; Antigonish, N.S. student Dexter; University of Prince Edward Island student Alanna; Dorothy, who runs a community
program called “Going Off, Growing Strong” in Nain, a remote town in Northern Labrador; Sally, a practicing artist from Dawson City;
Royal Roads University student Megan in Victoria; Canadian Armed Forces Veteran Terry; and Pascale, an outspoken teen and mental
health advocate.

With Canada’s diverse landscapes serving as the film’s backdrop – from mountains to prairies, major to small cites, and remote com-
munities – Hughes delivers a powerful message of healing to tens of thousands of Canadians in public squares, town halls, and schools
from coast to coast to coast. “Clara’s Big Ride” not only captures the monumental effort of the ride, but also continues the conversation
on how to build hope for a stigma-free future.
