Canada • 1971 • 118 minutes • 16 mm At the time of triumphant bilingualism and biculturalism, the University of Moncton, New Brunswick, is the theater of the Acadian awakening of the late 1960s, which occurred after centuries of defeatism and resignation. In a province where 40% of the population is expressed in French, it is then impossible to be heard. Walk against the Parliament, occupation of the premises, confrontation with the police: the film evolves behind the scenes of the action and testifies to the heart of the determination of the students, which will soon extend to a majority of Acadians . An invaluable document on the second birth of a people.
