'''SUMMARY :''' Documentary film by Ben Levine[http://www.wakingupfrench.com/levinebio.pdf] on the struggle for cultural survival among the Franco-American communities of New England, for the most part made up of descendants of Quebecers and Acadians. The film traces the French heritage beginning with immigration from the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Acadia through persecution by Ku Klux Klan and language loss, to cultural renaissance and heritage preservation. Through their determined loyalty to the French Catholic faith, language and cultural values, the French of New England continue to discover new ways of renewal and cultural diversity through heritage language reacquisition.
