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. |
