Acadia Acadia?!? (1971)

Documentary

In the late 1960s, with the triumph of bilingualism and biculturalism, New Brunswick's Université de Moncton became the setting for the awakening of Acadian nationalism after centuries of defeatism and resignation. Although 40% of the province's population spoke French, they had been unable to make their voices heard. The movement started with students-sit-ins, demonstrations against Parliament, run-ins with the police - and soon spread to a majority of Acadians. The film captures the behind-the-scenes action and the students' determination to bring about change. An invaluable document of the rebirth of a people.

Directed by: Michel Brault, Pierre Perrault

Cast: Michel Blanchard, Régis Brown, Jean Cormier, Irène Doiron, Bernard Gauvin, Blondine Maurice
