In the late 1960s, l’Université de Moncton became the setting for the awakening of Acadian nationalism after centuries of defeatism and resignation. Although 40% of the province's population spoke French, they had been unable to make their voices heard. This invaluable document of the rebirth of a people captures the behind-the-scenes action and the students' determination to bring about change. – National Film Board of Canada
