[projekktor id=’21506′]
My Internship in Canada (or Guibord s’en va-t-en guerre) is a Canadian political satire written and directed by Philippe Falardeau (The Good Lie, Monsieur Lazhar). It premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland and screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Patrick Huard, Irdens Exantus, Clémence Dufresne-Deslières, and Suzanne Clément.
Guibord is an independent Member of Parliament who represents Prescott-Makadewà- Rapides-aux Outardes, a vast county in Northern Quebec. As the entire country watches, Guibord unwillingly finds himself in the awkward position of holding the decisive vote to determine whether Canada will go to war. Accompanied by his wife, his daughter and an idealistic intern from Haiti named Souverain (Sovereign) Pascal, Guibord travels across his district in order to consult his constituents. While groups of lobbyists get involved in a debate that spins out of control, the MP will have to face his own conscience. My Internship in Canada (Guibord s’en va-t-en guerre) is a biting political satire in which politicians, citizens and lobbyists go head-to-head tearing democracy to shreds.
Falardeau wanted to make a political film with a message. “I wanted to say that politics is much bigger and deeper than the news reveals. And say it through an entertaining film, conceived and made in a way that every viewer, even the most demanding, can enjoy.”
