Chez nous, c'est chez nous

1972

Feature-length documentary film directed by Marcel Carrière. Returning to the region where the ARDA-BAEQ experiment took place (where the NFB's first social animation films were shot), the filmmaker witnesses the application of one of the measures stemming from this socio-economic redevelopment plan in Quebec: the demolition of 11 villages in the Lower St. Lawrence and the Gaspé Peninsula, experienced in Saint-Octave-de-l'Avenir.
