Life & Times joined Jewison as he travelled across Canada by train on his way to the Vancouver International Film Festival. He speaks of his career path, starting as a cabbie learning about human behaviour, the rejection of Hollywood and the welcome of a new industry, television, and then his triumph as Hollywood beckoned his return.
