Show detail Hide detail

Unedited interview of Quebec singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault. He comments on such subjects as his view that his songs need to be more than entertainment or a diversion, the inability of his songs to bridge the gap between French and English Canada, the yearning of people to get out of cities and back to the land, his fear for the future of the French language in Canada, the political content of his songs, the amount of effort he has to put into his one-person shows, his decision not to give any more interviews in English because they do nothing to persuade anglophones to believe in Quebec's rights, his objection to immigrants choosing to speak English rather than French, his view that English Canada has no culture because English Canadians identify with their nationalities of origin such as Irish and his belief that culture is more than language. As the interview progresses, Vita gets into a protracted argument with him about language and culture. She talks about her own Hungarian background. Intermittently there are other people, unidentified, speaking in the background, possibly his manager or members of the stage crew. <1h 3mn>
