About the film
Joyal paints a bold portrait of an unconventional politician, a nationalist and federalist, a man passionate about culture and a champion of collective memory and individual freedoms. At once a model child and an enfant terrible, Serge Joyal founded the Musée d’art de Joliette at the age of 22, sued the government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and ran against Jean Drapeau for mayor of Montreal in 1978. As a minister and senator, he defended the rights of minorities against the prejudice of the majority. Today, as Canada faces the threat of becoming America’s 51st state, Serge Joyal continues to defend the model of a humanistic society that he has helped to build.
