A Canadian woman who loved giraffes so much that she studied them for many years in Africa, was awarded honor in the short film “New Heritage”.
Historica Canada released a video with the participation of the deceased Anna Innis Dagg from Waterloo, Ontario, Thursday morning.
Dagg was a zoologist and wrote a number of books, including one of them, considered by the Bible at giraffes after her work in Africa. She died last year at the age of 91.
Her daughter, Mary Dagg, the general director of the Anna Innis Dagg Foundation, said that in the fall of Canada she turned to the family, about which she turned to the family, about creating a short film about a Canadian scientist, about which there should be more people.
“And I,“ damn it, ”said Mary. “This is a phenomenal opportunity for people to learn more about what my mother did.”
The new minute of the heritage, emphasizing Dagg, was launched as part of the month of female history in Canada.
Anthony Wilson-Smith, president and chief executive director of Historica Canada, told CBC News that the late zoologist personified all the qualities that they are looking for a minute of heritage.
“She overcame the adversity to make a long mark on the world arena in a very specific area,” said Wilson Smith.
“And she did it with grace and devotion everywhere. She is someone, who should know all Canadians, as a source of great pride. ”

In the description, as part of the video on YouTube Historica Canada, notes that, despite the fact that she is an expert and leading authority in the giraffes, “Dagg with all her might tried to get a constant teaching position, despite the fact that it was well qualified. She later advocated gender equality, especially in the academies. ”
Documentary from things in the attic
Dagg was the subject of the 2018 documentary film A woman who loves giraffesWhich was directed by Alison Raid. The raid was also hired as the director of the “Minute of the Heritage” with the participation of Dagg.
The raid first approached DAGG in the mid-2010s to make a theater film about his life after I listened to the CBC show with the participation of the zoologist.
But the visit to the house Dagga changed his mind.
“There were all kinds of things in the attic, and my mother was a full rat. She kept everything, ”said her daughter Mary.
“My mother said:” Listen, I'm old [film] Personnel since the 1950s. Ellie [Reid] will rise up and [my mom] He will see that she leaves with boxes … And then Ali said: “You know what? This is a documentary, we have so much material here. This is science fiction. Let's go to the documentary. And this is when she shifted the programs. “
Mary said that it took five years to make a documentary, and this included trips to Africa for an interview with her mother, other giraffes and people who were at the university where her mother did not receive their stay.
Mary hopes that a minute of heritage will inspire people to take measures and take part in the care of his world.
“Whatever the action may be – to go out into nature, join the club, take part,” she said.
“The message to me is that this is the one who said:“ I like it, and I'm going to go the other side of the globe, if I have to. ” Such a passion, and this one moved forward, I would like people to take in a big picture. ”
