Propaganda Message is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Barrie Nelson and released in 1971.[1] A satire of Canadian society, the film mocks the social and cultural prejudices that Canadians often hold of each other, including linguistic, political, ethnic and economic cleavages, presenting a plea for greater tolerance and understanding of people's differences.[2]
The film was written by Don Arioli,[3] who won the Canadian Film Award for Best Screenplay (Non-Feature) at the 23rd Canadian Film Awards in 1971 for both Propaganda Message and Hot Stuff.[4]
The film won a gold award at the first USA International Animation Film Festival in New York City in 1972.[5]
