Did you know the Wonderbra is a Canadian invention? Or the gas mask? Standard time? Instant replay? Computer animation? Electronic music? Even that famously "American" Superman was dreamed up by a Canadian.

Canadian Made is a series about the country's long, under-sung tradition of invention and discovery — astonishing in its range and ingenuity, yet rarely celebrated at home or abroad.

Each half-hour episode digs into the historic, scientific and human stories behind three inventions that, together, reveal something about the Canadian character. Blending documentary, animation, skits, recreations and computer graphics, the show's 14 episodes add up to a portrait of Canada that's amazing, exhilarating, and quietly a point of pride.
