Through the story of Jackie Vautour, this documentary takes viewers back to the creation of Kouchibougouac National Park in 1969 when eight villages -- and their 1,500 citizens – were expropriated from their land in eastern New Brunswick. Cajun singer-songwriter, Zachary Richard dedicates his recording, Coeur fidèle, « to all my francophone brothers and sisters in America. To Louis Riel, Beausoleil and Jackie Vautour... » Inspired by his own words and 35 years after the fact, Richard looks at what happened to those expropriated and to the politicians of the era.
