Le dernier Nataq

Lisette Marcotte

Canada | 2019 | 1 h 15 min
Originally from Abitibi, filmmaker Lisette Marcotte set out to search for her roots. She wanted to better understand the soul of her native land, which was also home to Richard Desjardins, whose writing opened the world’s eyes to the region. In this journey through Rouyn-Noranda, images and encounters help us piece together the history of mining, still deeply imprinted on the area. We hear from artists and local residents, as well as from Richard Desjardins in an expansive and generous dialogue with the filmmaker. This documentary is a compelling homage to a poet and the land he calls home.
