What La Bolduc Is About

The film tells the life of the Quebec musician born as Mary Travers and known on stage as La Bolduc. In the thirties she became the most listened to name in French speaking Canadian music, and because she wrote her own songs she is counted as the first songwriter of Quebec. The account does not build a grand story of a career; it moves through poverty, a house full of children and what the period had to say to a woman who wanted to go on stage. The songs themselves are not a background in the film but the place where she says what troubles her. Debbie Lynch-White appears in Francois Bouvier’s hundred and three minute Canadian film, completed in 2018.
