Summary: From case cover: Damien Robitaille, un musicien franco-ontarien, nous fait découvrir l'histoire extraordinaire de milliers de Canadiens français aux quatre coins des États-Unis. Roulant de Montréal à Los Angeles, en passant par la Nouvelle-Angleterre, New York, le Michigan, le Midwest et l'Ouest mythique, il nous fait revivre les grands épisodes de leur exode. Il déniche cette société paradoxale, presque imaginaire, dissoute dans l'espace américain, mais toujours bien vivante. Grâce aux recontres attachantes de Damien et aux lieux porteurs de mémoire quíl parcourt, nous découvrons les multiples facettes d'une diaspora canadienne-française vieille de trois siècles. Elle compte aujourd'hui plus de 12 millions de personnes, soit un plus grand nombre de descendants de Canadiens français que dans l'ensemble du Canada. From IMDb: Franco-Ontarian musician Damien Robitaille introduces us to the extraordinary history of the people in the United States of French Canadian heritage. Driving from Montreal to Los Angeles, winding his way through New England, New York, Michigan, the Midwest and the legendary Far West, he brings the milestone events of their exodus to life. He uncovers a paradoxical, almost imaginary society dissolved into American life but still very much alive. During his travels he meets all kinds of engaging people and visits many places steeped in memory, and we begin to understand a multifaceted 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.
