Synopsis
Laci Siki`s first one-hour documentary, Dora: The Magic of the Medal explores Dora De Pedery-Hunt`s remarkable life from her roots in Hungary to her decision to make Canada her home. Mrs. Hunt is Canada`s foremost medaillist, and while only a few Hunagarian or Canadians may know her name, everybody knows her work: since 1989 - when she was commissioned by the Royal Cabadian Mint - her design of the Queen`s effigy has been used on all new Canadian coins. Almost single-handedly, Dora De Pedery-Hunt introduced a new art form to the whole country.
