Seven Brides for Uncle Sam

Running time: N/A

What happens when the U.S. military opens a base near a small town in another country and sends tens of thousands of G.I.s over the next 40 years? Just what you might expect. There are a lot of marriages. The U.S. set up bases in Newfoundland at the beginning of WWII and maintained them for more than 40 years. The Canadian brides tell their personal stories. Some of them happy, some not, but all are fascinating for the light they throw on the cultural differences between Americans and Canadians and the contrast between a small isolated area and the outside, ''developed'' world represented by American soldiers from all over the U.S. --Ed Soohoo
