Literature Alive

Literature Alive

"Literature Alive" is a multi-facetted educational project, produced by Toronto-based multimedia company CaribbeanTales and sister company Leda Serene Films, that explores the work of Caribbean-Canadian authors. It comprises a documentary series (commissioned for Bravo! Canada, and first broadcast in October 2005); a series of audio books; a website (literaturealiveonline.ca) and a radio series for the CBC.

"Literature Alive! Second Life" is a program in the multi-user virtual environment Second Life used to disseminate instruction in the humanities in a 3D Environment. These projects, while not connected, aim for the same mission: they both seek to bring literature to those who seek it.
