The third in a trilogy of films on two of Canada's most brilliant politicians -- Pierre Elliott Trudeau and René Lévesque -- covering the years between 1976 and 1986. Using newsreel footage and interviews with key political strategists, the film reveals the turbulent, behind-the-scene dramas during the Québec referendum and the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution. In so doing, it also traces the course of each man's fall from power and illuminates turning points in recent Canadian history.
