Marquette, Michigan – October 8, 2015 – CineArts Films at Peter White Public Library, a series devoted to foreign and independent films, in conjunction with NMU’s Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center, celebrates French Canadian Heritage Days with the movie “Un rêve américain” (An American Dream) on Friday, October 9 at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room.
Franco-Ontarian musician Damien Robitaille introduces us to the history of French Canadians in the United States. Driving from Montreal to Los Angeles, Robitaille uncovers an almost imaginary society dissolved into American life but still very much alive. We begin to understand a diaspora three centuries old and more than 12 million strong. An epic journey into the heart of America where people of French Canadian descent helped open the frontiers of the American Dream. Introduced by Roger Magnuson. 2013. In French with English subtitles. 96 minutes. Free admission. BYO refreshments. Call 226-4309 or visit www.pwpl.info for more information.
