The Rez

The Rez

"The Rez" was a Canadian television series, which aired on CBC Television from 1996 to 1998. Most of the characters were based on W.P. Kinsella's short story collection "Dance Me Outside", which had been made into a film by director Bruce McDonald.

McDonald and Norman Jewison were executive producers of the series, which chronicled life in a First Nations community.

The series was filmed in the Parry Sound region at Harrison's Landing in Carling Township.

Excluding the series finale (which ran an hour), all episodes ran a half hour.
