Raymont’s films have covered a wide range of topics; from the American manipulation of news from Central America in The World Is Watching (1988) and The World Stopped Watching (2003), to the Rwandan genocide in Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire (2004). Magic in the Sky (1981) documented the creation of an Inuit-language TV network in the Canadian Arctic.
