The Roundup

The Roundup was a weekday afternoon program on the Radio One network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, hosted by Tetsuro Shigematsu and Bill Richardson at different times. It was heard Monday to Friday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (2:30 to 4:30 in Newfoundland). The show mixed music with calls and letters from listeners, which were often comic in nature, and feature interviews. The show was produced by CBU in Vancouver.

The show was originally hosted by Bill Richardson and called Richardson's Roundup. It was created in 1997 to replace Vicki Gabereau's show, when she left to do a television show with CTV. Tetsuro Shigematsu, an occasional guest host, became the show's permanent host in 2004 when Richardson left to launch the new series Bunny Watson.

The phone number (723 4628) was to be 1 888 RADIO2U but when they realised how cumbersome that would be to explain, they looked for alternative spellings. Richardson discovered that the show's phone number accidentally spelled out the phrase "sad goat" and 1-888-SAD GOAT was born. A goat named Sadie became the symbol for the show and the concept was elaborated on from then on.

The Round Up (2010 film)

The Round Up (French: La Rafle) is a 2010 French film directed by Roselyne Bosch and produced by Alain Goldman. The film stars Mélanie Laurent, Jean Reno, Sylvie Testud and Gad Elmaleh. Based on the true story of a young Jewish boy, the film depicts the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup (Rafle du Vel' d'Hiv), the mass arrest of Jews by French police who were Nazi accomplices in Paris in July 1942.

Plot

Jo Weisman, a young Jewish Parisian, and his family are taken by the Nazis and Vichy collaborators in the rafle du Vel' d'Hiv. Anna Traube, a 20-year-old woman, walks out of the velodrome with forged papers; her mother and sister are captured. Annette Monod, a Protestant nurse, volunteers for the velodrome, and assists Jewish doctor David Sheinbaum. From the Vélodrome d'Hiver Jo's family and Sheinbaum are transferred to the Beaune-la-Rolande internment camp. Monod comes along. She does what she can to help the children, who are soon falling sick from the camp diet and conditions.

The parents are dispatched by train to supposed "work camps in the East" (in reality the extermination camps), and Sheinbaum too. Monod wants to come along, but Sheinbaum talks her out of it. After some time authorities announce that for humanitarian reasons the children will be reunited with their parents in the east (in reality the adults have already been killed, and they are now going to kill the children). Some children believe they will rejoin their parents. However, Jo and another boy, Pavel, escape under barbed wire, taking along money that the family had hidden in the toilets along with their valuables.
