Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands
Offering a unique perspective into an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people, Ducks is a thoughtful guide through a complex landscape of class, gender, prosperity, and environmental destruction.
Kate Beaton’s natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, Northern Lights, and Rocky Mountains.
"Ducks blends her trademark wry humor with sharp social critique and raw personal experience." -- Slate
