Pierre Elliott Trudeau - Memoirs (3-DVD SET)
The life of Canada's most prominent political leaderPierre Elliott Trudeau was
one of the most striking, well-spoken and controversial leaders in Canadian
history. He brought with him an almost rock-star aura of popularity to office
in the 1960s, marking what was known as "Trudeaumania" in Canada during one of
the country's most exciting and important times.
Yet Trudeau's eccentricities were regularly mistaken for arrogance and he was
often considered a traitor, particularly by those who wanted to see Quebec
separated from the rest of Canada. With the province rocked by terrorist

"put the country in its place."
Through hours of archival footage and interviews with Trudeau himself, Memoirs
details the story of a man who used intelligence and charisma to bring together
a country that was very nearly torn apart.
