Le reel du pendu

Feature-length documentary filmed in three locations as far apart as possible: Louisiana, Acadia and Quebec, but where Le reel du pendu is played – a musical piece performed on the violin, harmonica and guitar or the accordion for over two hundred years. Through this improvised music of a death row inmate, the spectator is invited to discover for himself “the sound of the French in America”.

Director: André Gladu

Cast: Isom Fontenot, Dennis McGhee, S.D Courville, Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin, Majorique Duguay
