Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

This film is about the francization of Quebec that has taken place since the Parti Quebecois won power from the Liberals in 1976. It shows how the once powerful anglophone community is now questioning its very survival. It discusses some of the motivating forces behind Quebecois nationalism. The film concludes by asking if the Canadian nation can survive if neither of its major language groups is welcome in the territory of the other.
