Le Retour à la terre
Back to the Land Synopsis
Feature-length documentary as part of Pierre Perrault's Abitibian Cycle. The filmmaker questions the past and present of Abitibi and draws up, face to face, the promises of colonization in the 1930s and the great disappointment caused by the closing of the land in the 1970s. There are witnesses to the heroic era, including the cultivator Hauris Lalancette, as well as extracts from films by Father Maurice Proulx (1934-1940).
Back to the Land (1976) is a documentary film directed by Pierre Perrault, released on January 1, 1976 with a runtime of 56m. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
