Description:
<p><b>When a young schoolteacher decides to teach her Grade 8 class about filmmaking and creates a documentary that ends up being broadcast internationally, she sets in motion a career of storytelling for an age group largely ignored by TV executives … and creates one of the most-loved television franchises of all time</b></p>
<p><b>Includes fabulous behind-the-scenes photos and stories for <i>Degrassi</i> fans</b></p>
<p>Linda Schuyler, co-creator and executive producer of the long-running <i>Degrassi</i> series, shares her personal stories about the grit and determination necessary to make it as a woman entrepreneur in the bourgeoning independent Canadian television industry of the early 1980s.</p>
<p>After surviving a near-fatal car accident in 1968, Linda found her life continuing to veer in unexpected directions, ultimately leading her to use her innate abilities as an educator to become a successful storyteller and businesswoman.</p>
<p>Linda’s deep fondness for teenagers has made her a champion for adolescents. In <i>The Mother of All Degrassi</i>, she shares her strong belief that television is all about the story, and a good story is all about making the political personal. Through anecdotes and introspection — and some great behind-the-scenes stories for <i>Degrassi </i>fans — Linda examines her philosophy to dream big, think small, meet life head-on, and always keep an open heart. </p>
