Blake

Fier comme l'aigle et libre, Blake James franchit l'espace. À bord de son avion monoplace, il se faufile entre les cimes des arbres, grimpe vers les nues voyageuses à l'assaut du ciel. Libération? Affranchissement? Singulière émulation? Destin de Blake? Qui pourra le dire? Un film de grand intérêt pour les passionnés d'espace et de liberté.

Who hasn't dreamed of flying? Head in the clouds, light-hearted giddiness, a surge of adrenaline, exhilarating freedom. Bush pilots of northern Quebec, the last of a dying breed, experience these sensations every day aboard their hydroplanes. Lakes, rivers, forests: this majestic North of open spaces and infinite silence is all theirs. Bush Pilot: Into the Wild Blue Yonder creates a vivid portrait of men who have not surrendered their childhood dreams, who soar above these breathtaking spaces, from boreal forests to the tundra of Quebec's Great North. In French with English subtitles.

The great unmapped territories of the Canadian North and the impetus of war are reviewed in this film. This is the story of the barnstormers and bush pilots who explored Canada's vast hinterland, and of the heroes of World War II who flew the Bolingbrokes and the Ansons, the Mosquitoes and the Hurricanes. Part two of Salute to Flight.
