The outrageous and passionate life of one of Canada’s greatest painters is the subject of "A Separate Reality: The Life and Times of Norval Morrisseau".

"Morrisseau was committed, from the very start, to preserving the stories and myths of his people," says writer/director Paul Carvalho. "He never wavered. As troubled as his life was, he also went through it with this incredible sense of mission." Morrisseau is the founder of a new style, the Woodland school of painting, which today informs the work of hundreds of native artists in Canada and the United States.

Original Air Date - February 24, 2005
