This article is about the Quebec film. For the date, see February 15 and 1839.

February 15, 1839 (original title: 15 février 1839) is a 2001 Quebec historical drama film. Directed by Pierre Falardeau, it is about the incarceration at the Pied-du-Courant Prison and the execution by hanging there of Patriote participants of the Lower Canada Rebellion. Those rebels sought to make Lower Canada, now Quebec, a republic independent from the British Empire.

It features as characters the historical figures François-Marie-Thomas Chevalier de Lorimier, his wife Henriette and Charles Hindelang.

Pierre Falardeau said that Telefilm Canada approved Michel Brault's 1999 movie Quand je serai parti... vous vivrez encore as an excuse to initially deny funds for 15 février 1839. It released in the United States by Lionsgate on January 26, 2001. It won four Prix Jutra for Actor (Luc Picard), Supporting Actress (Sylvie Drapeau), Art Direction and Sound.

Synopsis

Ce film relate les 24 dernières heures de deux patriotes canadiens condamnés à la pendaison, à la suite de la rébellion des Patriotes en 1837 et en 1838. Parmi ceux-ci figure François-Marie-Thomas Chevalier de Lorimier, un héros canadien-français.

Deux cents ans après la conquête de 1760 par l'armée anglaise, des Québécois prennent les armes pour l'indépendance de leur pays. Le Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), renouant avec la lutte des Patriotes de 1837, passe à l'action armée : attaques de casernes, vols d'armes, vols d'explosifs, vol à main armée de financement, dynamitages, etc. Année après année, vagues après vagues, les réseaux du FLQ sont démantelés par la police, pour renaître aussitôt. Pour répondre à la répression et faire libérer leurs camarades emprisonnés, des militants du FLQ déclenchent L'opération libération.

Speak White est un poème en langue française composé par l'écrivaine québécoise Michèle Lalonde en 1968. Il a été récité pour la première fois en 1970 et publié en 1974 aux éditions de l'Hexagone, à Montréal. Il dénonce la mauvaise situation des francophones au Québec et prend le ton d'une plainte collective contre les Québécois anglophones. En 1980, Speak White est porté à l'écran par les polémistes Pierre Falardeau et Julien Poulin. Le film, d'une durée de six minutes, met en scène l'actrice Marie Eykel lisant le poème de Lalonde.
