A Song I Remember - an Allison Devereaux documentary
Sixty years ago, a little Dene boy alone at a mission hospital heard a rare Christmas carol that gave him comfort. Now, thanks to a choir outside Edmonton, he has his own recording of it.
"A Song I Remember" is the story of two men who lived very different lives, but share a meaningful connection to a particular carol. Alex Tambour spent his childhood in a residential school and a mission hospital in Fort Resolution, Northwest Territories. Gerry Goudreau grew up in Beaumont, Alberta, but lived in Hay River, Northwest Territories, for many years before returning home.
In this documentary, Allison Devereaux brings us the story of how this obscure French carol, "Le fils du Roi de gloire," unites the two men. It is also the story of the powerful gift one gives the other, just in time for Christmas.
