“French in North America (United States – Canada), a history, a language. What remains of American Francophonie?” with Jean Dulon, filmmaker and journalist.
Screening of excerpts from documentaries produced for France Television and Radio Canada.
In the face of the dominant English steamroller sweeping everything in its path, how has the French-speaking particularism, in constant danger and isolated from the motherland, managed to maintain itself on American soil? By revisiting history but also current events, this conference aims to understand the miracle of French in North America.
