The shows must go on: SAG, WGA tiff puts new light on TIFF

Guest: Peter Howell, movie critic This year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) kicked off last Thursday with relatively less buzz. As the red carpets rolled out for the annual festival, organizers, film directors and movie buffs are all grappling with the absence of the usual number of big movie stars due to Hollywood's ongoing strike by writers and actors, its largest in decades. TIFF is also facing the loss of Bell as its lead sponsor at the end of this year. The show must go on. This year's lineup includes some 200 films packed into an intense 11-day program. Movie Critic Peter Howell gives us a curtain-raiser. Audio sources: SAG-AFTRA, BBC, Global News This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Brian Bradley.
