| Overview |
This short drama is a portrait of Quebec lawyer and politician Louis-Joseph Papineau (1786-1871). A proud, defiant man, skillful in parliamentary debate, and Speaker of the Lower House, his heart was with the people being pillaged by the business elite. When legislation became the instrument of private advantage, Papineau brought government to a standstill. - NFB |

| Overview |
Ce court métrage de fiction retrace l'histoire du politicien Louis-Joseph Papineau, qui demeure aujourd'hui l'un des grands symboles du nationalisme québécois. En 1835, Papineau reproche au gouverneur Lord Aylmer de faire les volontés d'une oligarchie et, non seulement de rendre impossible le jeu démocratique, mais de fausser les institutions que le peuple s'était acquises de haute lutte. Ce film raconte un incident qui finira par mettre le feu aux poudres dans le Bas-Canada. |
