The Lake Man
196327 min 15 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Raymond Garceau
Production: Victor Jobin
Script: Raymond Garceau
Alexis Ladouceur's life has the tranquility of his surroundings and he belongs to the lake as much as the fish he lifts from the net or the flight of ducks arrowing over the reeds. By contrast, his brother, who farms nearby, seems of a different world. The film reflects the past story of the Métis, people of mixed French and First Nations' heritage, and the life of their communities.
