About The Champions, Part 2: Trappings of Power
Part 2 of this 3-part documentary series about Pierre Elliott Trudeau and René Lévesque covers the years between 1967 and 1977, a colourful decade that saw Trudeau win three federal elections, the 1970 October Crisis and the sweeping rise to power of the Parti Québécois.
Directed by Donald Brittain, The Champions, Part 2: Trappings of Power leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Elliott Trudeau, René Lévesque, Donald Brittain — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1978.
