Mes Aïeux - Dégénération (English Subtitles) Mes Aïeux - Dégénération (English Subtitles)
Posted by: tragiedia

Video duration: 189 seconds

I put subtitles on this music video by Québec band Mes Aïeux that is really good. It's about different generations in Quebec and what kind of life/possibilities they had. I suppose it could apply to anywhere but the transition in Quebec from Catholic backwater to liberal modernity was particularly quick and harsh. (Read up about the Quiet Revolution/Révolutio n Tranquille.)

I wanted to revisit Marionville, the small Franco-Ontarian village where I went to school as a child, not far from my old hamlet Ormond. I took a drive through Marionville.. that blue school at the start is my childhood school, Ste-Thérèse D'Avila, which was perpetually under construction back then.
