In 1952, Canadian film-maker Norman McLauren wrote and directed Neighbours. The documentary was produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and it lasts just eight minutes and six seconds. It won an Oscar and in 2009 was added to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme, an international initiative launched in 1992 to safeguard the documentary heritage of humanity against collective amnesia, neglect and deliberate destruction.
