The documentary will screen the evening of Saturday, June 22 and the afternoon of Sunday, June 23.  

‘La Balsas’ chronicles the world’s longest raft expedition which started in Ecuador and followed the Humboldt Current southward in the Atlantic eventually ending in Australia. 

CN's Assistant Vice-President of Grain, David Przednowek says they saw strong movement early in June.

"We're about a half million tonnes of processed grain products shipped in week 45, pushing 550,000 tonnes in week 46."
