Montréal is the largest city in Canada's Québec province. It’s set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River and named after Mt. Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its heart. Its boroughs, many of which were once independent cities, include neighbourhoods ranging from cobblestoned, French colonial Vieux-Montréal – with the Gothic Revival Notre-Dame Basilica at its centre – to bohemian Plateau.
Les mains noires (2010)
A documentary about a hidden story of Canadian history: The one of Angelique, a Black slave accused of burning Montreal in 1734. After an epic trial, Angelique is tortured and sentenced to death. But was she really guilty or was she the victim of a bigger conspiracy? Why this voluntary amnesia about this unknown page of history? The film includes interviews with historians who not only talk about Angelique but also about this general refusal to admit that slavery is part of Canadian history. Also, some key scenes of Angelique's existence are illustrated by reenactments played by professional actors.
