This is the first time in 50 years when there have been this many Canadian soldiers killed in the year that ends Nov. 11. CBC proposes a Vancouver conversation about just what Canadian troops are doing in Afghanistan and how Vancouverites feel about that. This is a true Remembrance Day program that both honours the war dead and looks ahead to what will happen next. Shot and recorded in Vancouver's big Studio 41 with a live audience, the main participants in the program have one thing in common: they have all been to Afghanistan...they are either soldiers, medics, aid workers or Afghanis now living in Vancouver. The program will be opened and closed by the award-winning Chor Leoni Men's Choir, and the studio will be filled with projections of photographs taken in Afghanistan by Vancouver cameraman Jim Hoffman.
