This is one of the best NFB docs I've seen online, it is tragic and hilarious and about stunt drivers.
"This feature-length documentary introduces viewers to Ken Carter, a Montreal-born stunt driver who made a living by risking his life. The film shines a light on the intense preparation that led to Carter's first attempt to jump a car across a mile-wide stretch of the St. Lawrence River -- a 5-year period during which the dare-devil raised a million dollars, erected a 10-storey take-off ramp and built a rocket-powered car."

Thanks for you replies. The documentary (short, sub 10mins) will be about Canadian stuntment and we'll probably try and do some recreations of crazy feats of bravery whilst getting to know the human story and what drives them. With the right director, it could be epic!

Based on the brief... try Murray Siple. He did Carts of Darkness which is pretty cool, and sounds like it would be a good fit.
