Acadia, Acadia?!? (French: L'Acadie, L'Acadie?!?) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Michel Brault and Pierre Perrault and released in 1971.[1] The film documents the student protests that rocked the Université de Moncton in 1968, ostensibly over a proposed tuition hike but augmented by simmering linguistic and political tensions between anglophone and francophone residents of the Canadian province of New Brunswick, which would ultimately come to be recognized as an important watershed moment in the history of Acadian culture.[2]
The film premiered in the Directors' Fortnight program at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival.[3]
