“Certainly, this film would have moved me differently when I first arrived than it does today. Back then, I might have found it… folkloric! Today, I find it deeply meaningful, and it moves me a great deal. It’s important to watch this film because it truly contributes to a better understanding of what Quebec is. It speaks to us about history, it speaks to us about the present. It speaks to us about identity and different cultures. It is a cultural gesture by a people seeking to reaffirm themselves on their own territory, to reconnect with their culture, and to reclaim their ability to pass on knowledge.”
