SYNOPSIS: LA TURLUTTE DES ANNÉES DÛRES is a musical documentary that traces the history of Quebec and Canada’s collective memory from the the time of World War I, through the Great Depression and into the 1980’s. Those who lived through these times revisit and share them through song, sometimes with humour or poetry, sometimes with anger, but always with warmth and emotion. From the Wall Street Crash to more current images of economic recession, LA TURLUTTE provides insight into economic hardships that continue to plague our country.

“LA TURLUTTE DES ANNÉES DÛRES takes us on an extraordinary
film-length journey into the Quebec and Canada of the ’30s.”
-Luc Rufiange, LE JOURNAL DE MONTRÉAL

“Spiced with poignant songs.”
-Bruce Bailey, THE GAZETTE
