Just received a note from Guy Thériault of the Association des familles Thériault informing us of a film by André Gladu titled "La piste Acadie en Amérique", or "The Tracks of Acadia in America". The film briefly overviews the history of Acadia but focuses on the aftermath of the 'Great Eviction' in 1755 particularly from  the viewpoint of the Acadians in America today and their contemporary efforts to focus on the acadian culture. The question of whether to liberate the acadian culture or to allow its assimilation to continue is at the forefront of the film. The film is 79 minutes in length which allows significant insight into the thinking and feelings of the acadians on both sides of this question.
