Pierre Falardeau (Script error: No such module "IPA".; December 28, 1946 – September 25, 2009) was a Québécois film and documentary director, pamphleteer and noted activist for Quebec independence.
Falardeau wrote at least one book, Rien n'est plus précieux que la liberté et l'indépendance.[1] He died on September 25, 2009, following a long battle with cancer.[2] He was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.[3]
Following his death, he was the subject of the 2010 documentary film Falardeau.[4]
Political views
With regard to minorities, Falardeau stated he did not care whether someone was white, black, yellow or green with orange polka dots; those who supported independence he considered brothers and sisters, and those who did not were "the enemy".[5]
Falardeau created some controversy during his career. For example, in 2006, a photograph surfaced of him at an August 2006 Montreal pro-Palestinian rally about the Israel-Lebanon conflict. The picture shows Falardeau with some young men and his friend and filmmaking partner Julien Poulin holding a Hezbollah flag. When asked to comment, Falardeau responded that he approached the men to understand why they supported Hezbollah, and that the flag belonged to the young men.[6][7]
