Alexandre Chartrand (Canada, 1977), after a few years working as an editor of documentary films, he directed his first documentary in 2016, Forbidden People, which takes us to the autumn of 2014, when the Catalan leader Artur Mas, leading the nationalist movement in Catalonia, began what would become a large-scale consultation to commit all citizens to express their requests in Madrid. Fascinated by Catalan culture, he has turned it into his favourite subject, dedicating his following documentary Avec un sourire, la revolution (2018) to the referendum for self-determination in Catalonia.
