Overview

Protection is a Canadian drama film, directed by Bruce Spangler and released in 2000. The film stars Jillian Fargey as Betty, a drug addict from Surrey, British Columbia, whose fitness as a mother is being investigated by child protection officer Jane (Nancy Sivak) following suspicions that her boyfriend Joe (William MacDonald) may have been physically and sexually abusive to her children Cindy (Nicole LaPlaca) and Jimmy (Giacomo Baessato). Spangler, a former social worker, made the film to dramatize the moral complexities of the situations that social workers often face; notably, Jane, the ostensible "hero" of the story, is also portrayed as a drug user. The film premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival in 2000. Fargey received a Genie Award nomination for Best Actress at the 22nd Genie Awards in 2001. Sivak received a Vancouver Film Critics Circle award nomination for Best Actress in a Canadian Film at the Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards 2000, citing her performances in both Protection and No More Monkeys Jumpin' on the Bed. The film received nine Leo Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor (MacDonald) and two nods for Best Actress (Spivak and Fargey).

Notable quotes

“Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids.”
— Alexander Graham Bell, as quoted in The Military Quotation Book by James Charlton, p. 37.
“If you are not ready, and did not know what to do, it could hurt you in different ways. It could knock you down, hard, or throw you against a tree or a wall. It is such a big explosion, it can smash in buildings and knock signboards over, and break windows all over town, but if you duck and cover, like Burt [the Turtle], you will be much safer.”
— Duck and Cover (1951)
“To protect those who are not able to protect themselves is a duty which every one owes to society.”
— Lord Macnaghten‎, Jenoure v. Delmege (1890), 60 L. J. Rep. (N. S.) Q. B. 13; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 212.
