Réveil! -- Waking Up French is a powerful documentary film by Ben Levine that explores the struggle for cultural survival among the French-Canadian communities of New England today.

The film, now in the lending collection at the library, is closely related to the themes of her acclaimed 2009 play. Presented by the Fletcher Free Library community language programs.
