Documentaire fascinant traçant le portrait de Marie de l'Incarnation. Nous suivons celle qui quitte la France après avoir abandonné son fils pour devenir bâtisseuse et missionnaire en Canada au milieu du 17e siècle. Véritable thriller spirituel, le film accompagne la comédienne Marie Tifo à la recherche de ce personnage hors du commun.
How
was Marie de l’Incarnation different from her religious contemporaries,
especially in her attitudes toward Native people? The actress who plays the
role of Marie de l’Incarnation consults a number of people to help her:
historians, a singer, a dancer, and so on. Does this help us better understand
history? Have students pick a historical figure and attempt to “decode” that
person from a physical and emotional perspective.
