"The Acadian Connection" (VHS) Video

I have just finished viewing what I consider to be one of the best "Acadian Video" produced in recent years! Details of "Le Lien Acadien" (en Français)can be viewed, using the previously listed "hot-link".

"The Acadian Connection" Video researched, written and directed by Monique LeBlanc provides very interesting information on the LEBLANC Family in North America, as well as some super "general" Acadian information. I highly recommend it to all my "Cajun-Cousins".

The legendary optimism of the Acadian and Cajun people shines from every smiling face in this affectionate portrait of the LeBlanc family. Join filmmaker Monique LeBlanc, as she turns her camera toward ten of her widely-scattered cousins and discovers a bond that refuses to fade with time or distance. This is the "Acadian Connection"...a shared spirit of determination and "joie de vivre" that has sustained Acadians and Cajuns for more than three hundred years.

As she travels from Eastern Canada to the Southern United States, Monique introduces you to a fascinating collection of ordinary people who lead extraordinary lives. Whether cycling around the world, winning an Academy Award, or rising to the top of the music industry, the people you'll meet have followed their dreams with the same tenacity that guided their ancestors through an often difficult history. The many triumphs of the LEBLANC family are sure to inspire anyone who looks to their roots for a sense of place in an increasingly complex world.

Whether or not you're one of the 250,000 LEBLANC's, BLANCS or WHITES living in North America today, you'll find it hard to resist Monique LeBlanc's love for the people and spirit of "l'Acadie". Like a cherished family album that never loses its appeal, "The Acadian Connection" stirs the dreams and nostalgia that live in us all!

The VHS Video, which is in full color and of 77 minutes duration, is available from the National Film Board of Canada, for the very modest price of $24.95 CDN, plus applicable taxes and shipping cost.
