Is Alberta really a land of oil-spoiled, beef-loving, bible-thumping rednecks? Does yogurt have more culture than Alberta? Skeptical of these popular stereotypes, Edmonton filmmaker Geo Takach sets out to define the real soul of the Wild Rose Province—a serious subject through a high-spirited and sometimes comical lens. During this one-hour documentary Geo meets some of Alberta’s icons and high-achievers, as well as keen observers from Newfoundland to BC. WILL THE REAL ALBERTA PLEASE STAND UP? reveals the surprising truth and the stunning contradictions behind common images of the province that people love to pigeonhole.
