What happens
Good Times, Bad Times is a 1969 Canadian short television documentary film created by Donald Shebib with narration by John Granik featuring interviews with veterans intercut by wartime footage. Shebib's presentation of war and the social status of Canada's veterans is blunt and "non-romanticized". The film was well-received and is Shebib's most distinguished short film. It won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Feature Length Documentary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
