Histoire et éducation à la citoyenneté - Modernisation de la société québécoise (1929-1980)
Ce docufiction permet de voir le mode de vie rural de la population acadienne des années 50 en lien avec le cours d'histoire et/ou d'éducation à la citoyenneté. Bon point de départ pour aborder l'entraide, élément nécessaire dans les villages à cette époque, le film permet aussi de saisir le rôle de l'Église.
