This award-winning drama, starring Colm Feore, explores 15 turbulent years, from the 1968 Liberal leadership victory to the 1982 Constitutional Conference, in the political and personal life of Pierre Trudeau, one of the most enigmatic and respected prime ministers in Canadian history. It focuses on a man who came to power reluctantly, an intellectual who had to learn to be a politician, a private man who favoured reason over passion. Yet passion was the hallmark of his marriage, and his passionate commitment to individual rights as the cornerstone of democracy dominated his political agenda.

DVD special features include a making-of featurette, deleted scenes and two CBC News profiles — The Many Lives of Pierre Trudeau (30:00) and The Style is the Man Himself (88:00).
