In 1755, English colonial officials forcibly expelled 7,000 French-speaking Acadians from their lands in Nova Scotia, lands that had been in Acadian hands for almost 150 years. Expulsion follows the epic story of a people played as pawns in a struggle between two empires. It is a saga of death and dislocation and resistance that reverberates still. This documentary covers the events leading up to the expulsion. Shot in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Louisiana and Boston, re-enactments and interviews compellingly bring the events to life?
