"This is a town that has never forgotten what Canadians did that day," says Abbott, who, together with O'Keefe, has made many trips to the city in over a year of production on the documentary. "You see Canadian flags here every day -- not just this 70th anniversary weekend." This weekend, though, they are everywhere -- above stores and in the windows of restaurants, on the backs of bicycles and cars, in flowerbeds and across billboards. Some can be spotted on the towels and bathing suits of many of the hundreds of tourists sunning themselves on stone and pebble beaches which stretch for miles along the shore of this historic, coastal French town.
Thanks to Sunken Civ for the heads up.
Here’s hoping this great story will be shown on American TV or be made available on DVD soon.
We cannot forget!
