An emotional story of hope and resistance in the global economy, The New York Times called it “a stirring, idealistic documentary". It was nominated for 4 Gemini Awards, and won the International Jury prize at the American Film Institute festival in Los Angeles. In the late 90s, as the host and producer of counterSpin on CBC Newsworld, he presided over more than 500 nationally televised debates in three years. In the early 1990s, he hosted City TV’s landmark music journalism show “The New Music”, and was MuchMusic's Political Specialist, pioneering political “uncoverage” for a youth audience and winning a Gemini Award for best Special Event Coverage. His new television series, The Big Picture with Avi Lewis, combines hard-hitting documentaries and town hall debates. It debuted on CBC Newsworld in September 2006.
