Show detail Hide detail

Documentary about Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, assessing his image, his political style, attitudes about the Quebec separatist movement and foreign policy. Trudeau's charismatic image is illustrated by film of Trudeau in a crowd of admirers on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, clips of women in the crowd talking about how much they like Trudeau, an interview clip of Trudeau talking about Trudeaumania, and scenes of Trudeau diving from a high diving board, carrying a surfboard while a crowd of people walk alongside him, riding a small motorcycle while a crowd looks on, and singer-actress Barbara Steisand. Next, the documentary presents critical views of Trudeau, through film of labour union members holding up placards and shouting at Trudeau as he arrives in an unidentified community by helicopter, interview clips of people criticizing Trudeau's "swinging" image as superficial, actuality footage of Trudeau debating Canada's abortion law with a group of pro-abortionists, and Trudeau commenting on the debate, with interviewer Julian Pettifer. The documentary then moves on to discuss Trudeau's efforts to represent all Canadians and his attitudes to politics. He is shown walking along a British Columbia beach and talking to voters there. One of Trudeau's political opponents, David Lewis, the leader of the federal New Democratic Party, is interviewed. Trudeau comments on his attitudes about politics and Parliament. There is footage of Trudeau attending a multicultural festival in southern Ontario, including scenes of dancers in ethnic costumes. The documentary then examines Quebec separatism, showing a damaged exterior wall and broken window panes at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, marching bands and crowds at the 1970 St-Jean Baptiste Day parade in Montreal, and rioters at the 1968 St-Jean Baptiste Day parade, showing Trudeau's refusal to leave the dais despite being pelted with bottles by the crowd. This is followed by an interview clip of Trudeau about separatism, scenes of Quebeckers singing and dancing, and an interview of separatist Pierre Bourgault. A segment on Trudeau's attitude to the British Monarchy is illustrated by scenes at the annual Garden Party held by Governor General Roland Michener at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, including a brief shot of Michener and Trudeau chatting. Trudeau is then interviewed about the Monarchy, the Commonwealth and Canada's foreign policy. The film concludes with a shot of Trudeau in the back of a limousine, without voiceover commentary. <31mn>
