Congrès Mondial AcadienCongrès Mondial Acadien 2009 Caraquet, summer 2009, a major celebration! For seventeen days the Acadian peninsula hosted the 4th Congrès Mondial Acadien. More than 50.000 participants from all over the world took part and formed the biggest gathering of the Acadians worldwide. The Acadians celebrate today, but “This Nation within a Nation” suffered greatly in the past. This documentary, produced by the German trainee journalists Melanie Siekhaus and Carolin Sommerfeld, is about the history, present and future of the Acadians. We made the documentary during an internship in New Brunswick, Canada and tried to illustrate the great culture of the Acadians.
