A Song for Quebec
198855 min 12 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Dorothy Todd Henaut
Production: Dorothy Todd HenautAdam SymanskyBill Nemtin
Script: Josh Freed
Co-produced by the NFB and Detroit Educational Television Foundation (WTVS-Detroit) in association with the Global Television Network.
A living history--that of Québec's last forty years--is seen not through the careful reconstruction of the academic historian but from the viewpoint of a couple in love with each other as well as the cause of Quebec's independence. Pauline Julien through her songs, and Gérald Godin through his poetry, provide an intimate look at the events which have marked Québec's evolution. This is a film about love and passion, and about a couple whose life is bound to the emergence of their world. It is also a unique synthesis of the Québec nationalist movement.
