Trudeau explores fifteen turbulent years in the political and personal life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, one of the most enigmatic and respected Prime Ministers in Canadian history. It focuses on a man who came to power almost reluctantly, an intellectual who had to learn to be a politician, a private man who lived a public life. A man who favoured reason over passion. Yet passion was the hallmark of his marriage, and his passionate commitment to individual rights as the corner stone of democracy dominated his political agenda. This film explores his vision, which both inspired and frustrated Canadians.
