Executive producers David Hatch and Bernie Finkelstein presented the hospital foundation, with $5,696.00, representing funds raised from screening in the fall of their feature-length documentary film, Atomic Reaction.

The funds raised will Back the Build for the new hospital underway in Picton.

Directed by Michèle Hozer, Atomic Reaction is a documentary that investigates Canada’s significant involvement in the Manhattan Project and its role in the creation of the world’s first weapons of mass destruction and the fallout 75 years later. The film was produced in partnership with CBC’s Documentary Channel.

“It was a real privilege to come together with Michèle and Bernie in our hometown theatre to raise funds for our new hospital,” said Hatch.

“The foundation is proud to be the beneficiary of this special screening made possible by these incredibly accomplished County residents,” said Shannon Coull, executive director of the PECMH Foundation. “Prince Edward County is a community that gives back generously by utilizing unique skills and talent. I am constantly amazed by the people who come forward with creative ways to make a huge impact. People like David, Bernie and Michèle make this County a wonderful place to live, work and play. We are also grateful to Lisa Thompson and RBC Wealth Management and Dominion Securities for sponsoring the screening at the Regent Theatre.”
