Malory Towers

"The New Headmistress"

Synopsis:

Based on the hugely popular book series of the same name by Enid Blyton, Malory Towers follows Darrell Rivers and friends at an all-girls’ boarding school. Set in the 1940s on the sun-drenched cliffs of the Cornish coast, Malory Towers explores this nostalgic world of midnight feasts, lacrosse, pranks, and lasting friendships.

Episode Synopsis:
Born of an Ojibwe father and an escaped-slave mother, John "Daddy" Hall's gripping story is the stuff of legends – of the War of 1812, of the harsh realities of slavery and of triumph in the face of adversity. Over the course of his 118-year life, Hall identified as an Indigenous boy, a scout for the British under Chief Tecumseh, a wounded veteran, a captured slave in Virginia and Kentucky, a fugitive crossing the Ohio River, a freeman and town crier in Owen Sound, Ontario, a husband and a father to an impressive number of children.
