"Je me souviens""I Remember"
Je me souviens is a documentary about the memory of fascism and anti-semitism in Quebec during the 1930s and 40s. The film follows the story of Esther Delisle, a French-Canadian doctoral candidate at Laval University, in Quebec City, who dares to open the Pandora's box of official memory. Rare archival footage and speeches and commentaries of Quebec's leading nationalist figures of the period provide the background for Delisle’s investigation. One academic calls her insane while others shun her as a traitor to French-speaking Canada. Je me souviens reveals the price some scholars must pay when they probe too deeply into forbidden territory.
