I made this - in just 18 days - back in 2001. One of my favourite and personal documentary projects.

In Lives Less Ordinary – Ian Shaw, grieving father Ian Shaw confronts an unimaginable loss after his daughter Stephanie, one of 229 victims aboard Swissair Flight 111, perishes in a crash over the Atlantic. Haunted by the sharp shock of impact and the silence that followed, Ian journeys to Peggy’s Cove and into the depths of heartbreak. He leaves behind a life of prestige and enters a new world, one of quiet longing, fragile hope and community solace in a small Nova Scotia fishing village. Amidst sorrow and survival, Ian rebuilds meaning, finding redemption not in forgetting, but in love, kindness and the courage to carry on.
