Oscar-nominated director Philippe Falardeau revisits the tragic 2013 event in the documentary, Lac-Mégantic – This Is Not an Accident
If pressed, many Quebeckers – really, anyone across the country – could recall just where they were and what they were doing on July 6, 2013, when news broke about a train derailment the night before in Lac-Mégantic. The accident, which killed 47 people instantly and displaced thousands of residents in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, lingers in the national memory as a scar, traumatic and permanent.
“I’ve now completely forgotten where I was or what I was doing when I first heard of it, because I’ve since seen so many things, heard from so many people, been to the town so many times that it has completely erased what I retained from the event originally,” the director says today.
