In their new documentary, Mélanie Ladouceur and François "Yo" Gourd explore the 50-year history of the Rhinoceros Party, that mighty nose-thumbing at Canadian federal politics founded in 1963 by Dr. Jacques Ferron. From its auspicious beginnings to the Belgian "peace treaty" of 1980 to the recent proposal to unite Quebec and Cuba, it’s a history of irreverence and poetry, madness and pandemonium that raises the question : without its court jesters, is a democracy really worthy of the name.
