Long before he was Brent Butt's dad on Corner Gas, Eric Petersen (one of my favourite Canadian comedians of all time) was a theatre actor, and starred in the one-man play, Billy Bishop Goes to War which, according to Wikipedia, is one of the most widely produced Canadian plays. This film is a hybrid documentary-play. It's a fun film.
