Pierre Trudeau : a Canadian affair

Summary: This video biography of one of Canada's most colourful and controversial prime ministers includes rare footage of his family life: for the first time on television, sons Justin and Sacha speak candidly about their father, his character and what it was like to grow up in the public eye. It traces his life, his career, his successes and his heartbreaks through archival footage and interviews with his political contemporaries and friends. This intimate portrait of the charismatic leader, hosted by Craig Oliver, aired just three days before Trudeau's 80th birthday on the W-Five series.
