In 1755, English colonial officials forcibly expelled 7,000 French-speaking Acadians from their lands in Nova Scotia, lands that had been in Acadian hands for almost 150 years. Expulsion follows the epic story of a people played as pawns in a struggle between two empires. It is a saga of death and dislocation and resistance that reverberates still — an event unapralleled in the history of the colonizing of North America. This documentary covers the events leading up to the expulsion. Shot in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Louisiana and Boston, re-enactments and interviews compellingly bring the events to life.

DVD special features include interviews with descendant Richard Thibodeau and archivist Ronnie-Gilles Le Blanc.
