Peter Wintonick, director, producer, film editor, writer, director, journalist, and advocate, was a one-of-a-kind figure in the Canadian film industry. Wintonick started out as a precociously talented editor on commercial features before committing himself to documentary filmmaking. He became a highly regarded director-writer-producer and a mentor to numerous young filmmakers, as well as a globetrotting advocate and ambassador for socio-political documentaries. Involved in more than 100 films and media projects, he was perhaps best known for Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992). [The Canadian Encyclopedia]
