Traitor or Patriot (Original French-language title: Traître ou Patriote) is a Quebec documentary produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) in 2000. It is directed by and starring Jacques Godbout. Its style belongs to the Quebec cinéma direct school of filmmaking.
Synopsis
It analyzes the place of Quebec Premier Adélard Godbout in history. Godbout is not well-considered by Quebec historians and citizens. Adérald Godbout was the Second World War–era Quebec head of government, and the great-uncle of the director. Godbout advances some theories to explain why his great-uncle was forgotten in the collective memory of the Quebecers. One theory is that Adélard Godbout was more favourable than other political leaders to conscription. Quebec nationalists, at the time, opposed conscription, which they saw as a British imperialist manoeuvre of English Canada to defend the Empire.Actors

It chronicles the immediate aftermath of the fall, in 1990, of the Meech Lake Accord, and its effects on the Quebec society and Quebec nationalism. It is set during the Bélanger-Campeau commission (a public hearing to determine the way to choose for Quebec regarding its autonomy), before the Parti Libéral du Québec (in power, traditionally in favor of autonomy within Canada and co-instigator of the Accord with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada) formally closed the door to independence in the light of the death of Meech Lake and the departure of some Liberal nationalists to create the ADQ. The title means The Black Sheep, referring to Quebec and its difference coupled with a perceived ostracism by Canada, notably through its rejection of the Accord that would have recognized this difference.

Ce documentaire retrace les quatre années de pouvoir de Thomas Sankara, président du Burkina Faso de 1983 à 1987. Chef d’État surprenant, il est surnommé « le Che africain » et connu de tous en Afrique pour ses idées novatrices, son franc-parler teinté d’humour ravageur, sa fougue et son altruisme. Avec une arme dans une main et les œuvres de Karl Marx dans l’autre, Sankara devint président à l’âge de 34 ans. Il bouscula immédiatement les fondations du pays au nom colonial français, Haute-Volta, qu’il renomma Burkina Faso, « Terre des hommes intègres ». Ce film rend compte de l’impact de cet homme et de sa politique sur les Burkinabés et sur l’Afrique en général.
