The Ungrateful Land: Roch Carrier Remembers Ste-Justine
197227 min 10 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Cynthia Scott
Production: Ian McLaren
Here is the village of Ste-Justine as one gifted man, novelist and playwright Roch Carrier, remembers it. In this small corner of Québec there is space in the landscape and in the vast spread of forest, but the fringe of rocks around every field speaks of the backbreaking hardship that was the lot of Carrier's father and of his grandfather before him. This is a nostalgic view of rural Québec.
