Live and act

Terre Nash studied literature and sociology and was the first to earn a master's degree in communications from Simon Fraser University . In 1973 she moved to Montreal and received her PhD from McGill University for her work Images of Women in NFB Films During World War II and the Postwar Years: 1939-1949 . She also headed a research project at the Allen Memorial Institute of Psychiatry on the relationship between predisposition and assessment of media events.

In 1975, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) produced a short film series to mark the first International Year of Women , to which Nash contributed the one-minute animated film It's No Yolk . From then on she worked for Studio D of the NFB as a freelance writer, animator and researcher. With If You Love This Planet she directed a major film project for the first time and won an Oscar in the category Best Documentary Short Film together with producer Edward Le Lorrain in 1983 . The film, in which nuclear power opponent Helen Caldicott gives a speech, had previously been classified as political propaganda by the US Department of Justice and all copies traded in the US had to carry a corresponding warning. As a result, the film hit the international headlines and at the Academy Awards, Nash thanked the Ministry for this additional publicity. In the course of her subsequent career she directed other documentaries, in which she mainly portrayed politically active women such as Marilyn Waring . Often she also did the film editing and wrote two scripts.
