Statement:
Golden Era is a documentary created as part of my thesis at Queen’s University.
Over several months, I gathered archival footage dating back to the early 1920s. From a collection of 16mm film and VHS tapes, I’ve restored and compiled hours of unseen footage. The documentary also features my conversation with Merv Daub. Merv was a Queen’s student and captain of the Gaels football team during the late 60s. He is a renowned historian and author of Gael Force, a historical look into Queen’s football. Merv’s insight, paired with the archival footage, opens a window into the chaos and excitement of the university campus over 60 years ago.
Golden Era is more than a football documentary. It’s a glimpse into a time when Queen’s University and the game of football were at their peak, creating traditions that continue to shape the school community to this day.
