Dancing Around the Table: Part One provides a fascinating look at the crucial role Indigenous people played in shaping the Canadian Constitution. The 1984 Federal Provincial Conference of First Ministers on Aboriginal Constitutional Matters was a tumultuous and antagonistic process that pitted Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and the First Ministers—who refused to include Indigenous inherent rights to self-government in the Constitution—against First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders, who would not back down from this historic opportunity to enshrine Indigenous rights. The conference was Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s last constitutional meeting before he resigned and the process was handed over to his successor, Brian Mulroney.

Les tribulations de deux Québécois nationalistes dans l'univers anglophone des compagnies d'assurance. Une satire qui puise son ironie dans une situation sociale bien précise. Un exemple fort représentatif des comédies populaires de l'époque qui prenaient appui sur la télévision et les vedettes à la mode, et qui ont fondé un certain courant commercial du cinéma québécois, plus intéressant que celui du " film de fesses ".

En octobre 1970, des membres du Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) enlèvent le ministre Pierre Laporte, déclenchant une crise sans précédent au Québec. Cinquante ans plus tard, Félix Rose tente de comprendre ce qui a pu mener son père et son oncle à commettre de tels actes. Grâce aux confidences de son oncle Jacques, qui accepte pour la première fois de s’exprimer sur le sujet, et aux traces précieuses laissées par son père Paul, il fait revivre la richesse de l’héritage d’une famille ouvrière québécoise et redonne à la crise d’octobre sa dimension sociale. Fruit de dix ans de recherche, Les Rose permet de faire revivre des moments et des personnages que l’on ne connaissait que par quelques clichés, et laisse entrevoir le blocage social vécu par une jeunesse révoltée et les bouleversements qui s’ensuivirent.

The year: 1969. Headlines blare war and civil unrest while John Lennon and Yoko Ono are in love. The eccentic rock 'n' roll couple has just gotten married, and more than happy to be together, they want to change the world. Lying in a hotel bed surrounded by journalists, they announce their mission for peace and invite the rest of the world to symbolically climb into bed with them and share their dream. People call them silly, naive, even ridiculous, yet one famous couple's bed-in spread new hope that there really could be an end to war, hate and violence. Here is rare footage from that amazing time, including footage from John and Yoko's wedding, the infamous bedside confrontation between John and conservative cartoonist Al Capp, Lennon debating media expert Marshall McLuhan, and meeting Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Now twenty years after Lennon's murder, Yoko and others involved in the peace mission reflect on the events of that magical, mystical year.

Un grand documentaire sur le Québec et un éditorial cinématographique virulent à l’occasion du référendum de mai 1980 sur la souveraineté-association. Couvrant les événements, le cinéaste sort la défaite référendaire du Parti québécois de son contexte local et la confronte au jugement de l'Histoire, en la soumettant au feu d'une critique acerbe sous la forme de citations extraites de l'œuvre de Nicolas Machiavel (magnifiquement interprété par Jean-Pierre Ronfard).

Canadian director Catherine Annau's debut work is a documentary about the legacy of Pierre Trudeau, the long-running Prime Minister of Canada, who governed during the 1970s. The film focuses particularly on Trudeau's goal of creating a thoroughly bilingual nation. Annau interviews eight people in their mid-30s on both sides of the linguistic divide. One tells of her life growing up in a community of hard-core Quebec separatists, while another, a yuppie from Toronto, recalls believing as a child that people in Montreal got drunk and had sex all day long. Annau has all of the interviewees discuss how Trudeau's policies affected their lives and their perceptions of the other side, in this issue that strikes to the heart of Canada's national identity.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau: Memoirs

Pierre Elliott Trudeau was one of the most striking, well-spoken and controversial leaders in Canadian history. He brought with him an almost rock-star aura of popularity to office in the 1960s, marking what was known as "Trudeaumania" in Canada during one of the country's most exciting and important times. Yet Trudeau's eccentricities were regularly mistaken for arrogance and he was often considered a traitor, particularly by those who wanted to see Quebec separated from the rest of Canada. With the province rocked by terrorist bombings and the nation disturbed by civil unrest, Trudeau was determined to "put the country in its place." Through hours of archival footage and interviews with Trudeau himself, Memoirs details the story of a man who used intelligence and charisma to bring together a country that was very nearly torn apart.
