The Land of Shipwrecks is both an author's documentary and a historical documentary. It presents a different and authentic vision of Gaspésie, too often enslaved to tourist imagery, by carrying the voice of those who live there and are rooted there. The history of Gaspé is inseparable from its topography, its proximity to the sea, its reefs, its mist and its immense bay set with mountains which constitutes a natural refuge.
