History of the 90s

• The Crow I 143

  Released in 1994 and directed by Alex Proyas, The Crow is more than just a revenge tale. It’s a journey through grief, justice, and the supernatural. Based on James O’Barr’s graphic novel, the film tells the tragic story of Eric Draven and Shelly Webster who are murdered by a Detroit gang. A year later Eric is resurrected from his grave to avenge their deaths and soothe the guilt he feels for failing to protect his fiancé. With its haunting visuals, unforgettable soundtrack, and the tragic real-life story of Brandon Lee—whose performance became his legacy—the film carved out a permanent place in pop culture. In this episode of History of the 90s we track The Crow’s journey from comic book series to cult classic.

• Cod Moratorium I 142

  In July 1992 the Canadian government banned cod fishing along Newfoundland’s east coast in an effort to help restore cod stocks that had been depleted due to overfishing. The moratorium was supposed to last 18 months but ended up being extended indefinitely. The collapse of the industry ended nearly five centuries of cod fishing, led to the largest industrial layoff in Canada, devastated Newfoundland’s economy and shook the province’s identity to the core.
