Voluble. Passionate. Brilliant. In his uncompromising quest for liberty, Pierre Falardeau was a voice heard above most others. An open mind, brimming with ideas. A man who stood for a cause greater than any other: the independence of his homeland. But also a man often blindsided by his own rage, capable of causing harm. With obvious admiration, Germán Gutierrez and Carmen Garcia offer this tribute to a formidable man and moviemaker, who died at age 62 on September 25, 2009. Looking back on his career with the help of those who knew him best, most notably his wife, Pierre Falardeau is packed with archival footage and film excerpts. The film offers a portrait of a uniquely complex individual, equally at ease with political scandal as a song by Jacques Brel.
