It was a book of photographs, titled Between Friends/Entre Amis, and comprised photos taken within 30 miles of the Canada-U.S. border, by Canadian photographers: from the Arctic and down the panhandle of Alaska, across the Rockies and Prairies, and east to the Great Lakes, Quebec, and the Maritimes. The project was spearheaded by the National Film Board of Canada, which commissioned 26 prominent Canadian photographers to contribute.
