94 mins | Documentary | Feb. 14, 1979

Images and sounds are spliced together in this journey to the heart of the political, economic and cultural oppression of the Quebecpeople. A reflection on neo-colonial exploitation and the cancer of alienation. To the very Canadian nulti-culturalism of Trudeau and the métissage of the multinationals, celebrated by the high priests of the dominant ideology, is contrasted the idea of acculturation, even deculturation. A way of resisting as good as any other.
