About The Communist's Daughter
The Communist's Daughter is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered on CBC Gem in 2021 and is loosely based on creator, head writer and director Leah Cameron's own life. It was nominated for 6 Canadian Screen Awards and won the Web Series World Cup in 2021, making it the most awarded series in the world digital festival circuit that year, the first Canadian series to win the cup and Cameron the first female creator to win it. Set in 1989, just before the Berlin Wall is about to fall, the series stars Sofia Banzhaf as Dunyasha McDougald, the teenage daughter of Marxist activist parents Ian and Carol McDougald; after the family moves to a new—and conservative—Toronto neighbourhood, she falls for wealthy introvert Marc L'Ouverture despite being an outsider in her new school's social hierarchy, only for her father to mount a municipal council campaign against incumbent councillor Rod Bigmann, Marc's step-father.
