This week on Art Beat I did a triple header. I interviewed Tomas Borsa and Jean-Philippe Marquis about their new documentary film LINE IN THE SAND, and chatted with Smithers resident Len Vanderstar who appears in the film.

Listen online below in the "attached files" tab at the bottom. The film premieres in Smithers on April 18th at 7pm at the Old Church, tickets at Mountain Eagle Books.
