Just Watch Me: Trudeau and the 70's Generation

Synopsis

Catherine Annau interviews eight Canadians in their mid-30s about their experiences growing up during Pierre Trudeau's time as Prime Minister in the 1970s. The film includes voices from both sides of Canada's linguistic divide. One interviewee describes life in a community of Quebec separatists, while another recalls childhood misconceptions about Montreal. Each participant reflects on how Trudeau's bilingual policies shaped their lives and views of the other linguistic community, addressing a central issue in Canada's national identity.
