Stories That MADE Us (2025) — S01E01 · Cross-Canada Road Trip with George Stroumboulopoulos

Stories That MADE Us

The Stories That MADE Us is a vibrant journey through the past, present, and future of Canadian storytelling — a portrait of a nation seen through the films and television that have moved us most. Guided by host George Stroumboulopoulos, the series weaves together voices from across the country — stories of laughter, heartbreak, fear, and wonder. Each anecdote is a fragment of something larger: a living narrative revealing the soul of a young nation still defining itself. What is Canadian identity? Maybe it’s impossible to pin down. But in the stories we tell, we begin to see it more clearly. The series traces these threads across decades: the themes that endure, the questions that echo, and the new voices reshaping the conversation. We are at a threshold moment. Canadian storytelling, once overlooked, is now breaking onto the world stage. The Stories That MADE Us is offering a collective reflection on where we’ve been, who we are, and where our stories might take us next.
