The Megaphone Reel focuses on Gilles Garand, a colourful individual,
a passionate promoter of Québec's living heritage and an ardent champion of
workers' rights. Serge Giguère presents a lively portrait of this man of
action, harmonica and accordion player, CNTU servicing representative and
organizer of La Grande Rencontre. Filmed in Montréal, Québec City and
France, this musical documentary offers a rare opportunity to hear the
undisputed masters of Québec traditional music, Aldor Morin and Philippe
Bruneau, who are featured at La Grande Rencontre
In keeping with Serge Giguère's exemplary work--he has won three Québec
critics' awards for Oscar Thiffault, le roi du drum and 9,
St-Augustin--The Megaphone Reel bears witness to the vitality of
popular culture and the value of social commitment. In French with English
subtitles.
