Summary:
"
Acadian
filmmaker Peter
d
'Entremont embarks on a personal journey to Pubnico, Nova Scotia, in search of his family's beginnings. Untangling the history of ten generations,
d
'Entremont explores the
legacy
of his illustrious forbear, the Baron
Philippe
Muise
d
'Entremont.
Philippe
d
'Entremont was one of the first French immigrants to settle in the New World. Lieutenant to the Governor, Charles de la Tour,
d
'Entremont was an educated man whose privilege couldn't protect him from the harsh conditions of Acadia. The history of the
d
'Entremonts is the history of Acadia. A hundred years after
Philippe
's arrival, his family would be one of the last to leave during the
Acadian
Expulsion of 1755, and one of the first to return twelve years later. Peter
d
'Entremont explores his family's ties to the Expulsion and to its mythologies. The Expulsion was an horrendous upheaval for Acadians. During the mass deportation of 1755, 10,000 Acadians were exiled for refusing to sign the oath of allegiance to the King of England. At Grand-Pré,
d
'Entremont visits the famous symbol of
Acadian
survival, the statue of Evangeline. She was the fictional character of Longfellow's epic American poem, set in Grande Pré. Peter discovers that Grand-Pré was founded by a
d
'Entremont, a daughter of the Baron, who spent his last years in Grand-Pré. It is in the final chapter of the film, at an
Acadian
festival featuring a parade, step-dancing and music, that the filmmaker recognizes the merging of the past and the present and the resounding victory of
Acadian
survival."--White Pine Pictures.
