- In 1968, an internationally renowned French film director unexpectedly lands in Abitibi, in the northwest of Quebec, to conduct political and mass-media experiments. This event fuels the revolutionary tendencies of Michel, a local young man, and the desire to travel the world of Marie, his girlfriend.
- Abitibi is a region of Québec known for its forestry and mining resources that is situated 500 km north-west of Montreal. Its name, of Algonquin origin signifies « Where the water is shared », water from the river flowing into Bay James and the water that makes the St-Lawrence river grow. For many milleniums, the Algonquin people were the sole owners of this land and to them knowing the rivers' course was a question of survival. When the first Europeans arrived, about 400 years ago, they were trappers at first and until the end of this past century they were loggers. In 1920, the first mining cities were built. The aboriginals, principally Algonquins, were essential guides for these newcomers in all their activities, then, without any consideration for their heritage, they were obligated to move for the imperatives of economic exploitation. 160 000 people live in this region today, 6000 of them being Native Americans.
- The film tells the story of the life of the Amerindian chief Dominique Rankin which he is also the adaptation of his book "On les appelait les sauvages."
- -Throughout the year, Ian Clermont trains continuously and assiduously to raise funds for sick children. His challenge: to run 105 km in a single day. As the months go by, he has to increase his pace and rhythm. His body is changing. Injuries loom. He has to reconcile work, training and family. "Le défi" is certainly not a racing film. It demystifies sporting performance at its most extreme, and empowers the individual to change his or her life. In an atmosphere tinged with humor, this documentary takes a human look at the paradoxes associated with surpassing oneself and giving of oneself.
