## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Mabel is a 2016 documentary film with a runtime of 20 minutes. The production focuses on the life of Mabel Robinson, a 90-year-old woman residing in Hubbards, Nova Scotia. During the 1940s, Robinson broke social barriers by becoming the first woman in her community to establish her own business. She opened a hairdressing salon where she has continued to provide services such as shampoo-n-sets for over 70 years. The film utilizes a combination of animation, archival imagery, and intimate footage recorded within the salon to portray her daily life. Through these segments, the documentary explores themes of friendship, the value of staying active, and the importance of pursuing one's passions. Robinson expresses no intention of retiring, and the film aims to provide a platform for a generation that is not typically represented in contemporary cinema or popular culture. The documentary is classified as a G-rated film and was released in Canada on January 1, 2016.
