Lifelines

This episode explores how the airplane has become an indispensable tool - literally a lifeline - to those living in isolation or danger. Lifelines shows how Canadian pilots, and the expert teams and equipment they carry, are saving lives and offering hope at home and abroad. We meet a Montreal pediatrician who is passionate about flying, and devoted to her many young patients who live in tiny remote communities in Ungava Bay. We fly with the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) to parts of the world struck by natural disasters and meet a search and rescue pilot who has lead more than 200 rescue missions. We will also travel with a airborne medical unit as they cross the globe to bring home Canadians struck by illness. Lifelines was directed by Yves Lévesque and produced by Michel Rochon. It will air on Oct. 22nd @ 8pm on CBC
