When I leave… you will still live

When I leave… you will still live is a film Québécois left in 1999. Realized by Michel Brault, this historical Drame comprising a share of fiction is an account of the Rébellion from the Patriots of 1837 and 1838 which tried to make Low-Canada, maintaining the Quebec, a democratic republic and independent of the British Empire.

Description

Work puts in scene the fictitious character of François-Xavier Bouchard as well as the true historical figure of François-Marie-Thomas Chevalier of Lorimier. The music was carried out by François Dompierre. The scenario writer Pierre Falardeau says that Téléfilm Canada used the acceptance of film of Brault like excuses to refuse funds for its own film about the Patriotes named February 15th, 1839. This refusal encouraged it to write a second feature-length film of Elvis Gratton.

The main character is François-Xavier Bouchard. This last returns to Low-Canada to the autumn 1838 after having flees the British authorities with the the United States (as indeed many Patriots did it) following the first rising this year. As of its return, in spite of the exhortation of the members of its family, it joined François-Marie-Thomas Chevalier of Lorimier for another attempt. They are repressed and captured. After a summary lawsuit, Bouchard, Knight of Lorimier and others are condemned to died.
