Traitor or Patriot
Directed by Jacques Godbout-Jacques Godbout's feature-length documentary on the historical fate of his childhood hero, his great uncle Adélard. How can we disappear from the collective memory when we were premier of Quebec from 1939 to 1944? Yet that is the fate of Adélard Godbout. His case is particularly disturbing. This was the precursor of the Quiet Revolution, the one who gave Quebec free and compulsory education, the right to vote for women, Hydro-Québec and labour laws, but, as a convinced Christian and humanist, he was also in favour of the war against Nazi barbarity. The ultra-nationalists will have his skin, then his memory.
