MovieDocumentaryThe documentary takes us back to a time when Quebec had just emerged from the Quiet Revolution, with a thirst for other cultures. Four years after Expo 67 another step was taken as the result of a new social policy established by the Trudeau government: multiculturalism. Making Canada a country where all cultural communities and their values are protected and no one culture will be dominant was the goal of the Trudeau government. While visiting Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden, countries that adopted the Canadian model in the 1980s and 90s, the documentary provides an insight into how multiculturalism has evolved in Canada and around the world until now.
