A Song for Quebec
Dorothy Todd Henaut, Canada, 1988, 55 min

 

Produced in 1988, this feature documentary presents a living history of Quebec’s last 40 years as seen through the eyes of one couple. Pauline Julien and Gérald Godin, two Quebec artists, share their perspectives on the events that have marked Quebec’s evolution. Julien, a singer, and Godin, a poet, express their love and passion for the province (and each other) while providing a unique take on the Quebec nationalist movement.
