"Un rêve américain" on tour in New England

This year, Québec movie “Un rêve américain” (An American dream) will be shown in five New England states.

This documentary, starring Franco-Ontarian musician Damien Robitaille, introduces us to the extraordinary history of the millions of people in the United States of French Canadian heritage. Driving from New York to Los Angeles, winding his way through New England, Michigan, the Midwest and the legendary Far West, he brings the milestone events of their exodus to life.

Don't miss your chance to meet and discuss with the movie's producer Claude Godbout, its director Bruno Boulianne and even its star Damien Robitaille, who will be in the region for some of the projections!
