DE LA TOURBE ET DU RESTANT

This film is first and foremost a documentary about peat moss businesses in the Lower St. Lawrence, which export most of their products to the United States. But it is also a glimpse into man’s exploitation of nature and and his fellow man.

DIONNE QUINTUPLETS, THE

Back in 1934, Elzire Dionne delivered five identical girls. THE DIONNE QUINTUPLETS follows Cecile, Emilie, Marie, Yvonne and Annette through twenty-one years of strange upbringing. When the girls were just infants, the premier of Ontario issued a court order removing them from parental care. Cut off from the world and their family, over-publicized, viewed twice daily in a special viewing compound, they grew up as prize exhibits. Director Donald Brittain uses old newsreel footage, home-movie sequences and interviews to depict a historic event that became a tragic exploitation of a family. Based on the book The Dionne Years by Pierre Berton.
