Turning Tides (La dernière batture)
Summer trippers line up for the famous local fried clams and whole families dig for the white mollusc in the tangy air of the sandbars. But as the clams dwindle, so do these tableaux from Maritime culture. For commercial fishermen, it’s the end of a livelihood; for others, it’s the death of a tradition.

Cafeteria (Cafétéria)
When the idea of improving the cafeteria menu at a primary school in Cocagne in Southeastern New Brunswick comes up, an entire movement emerges. The community overcomes multinationals to promote local farmers and everyone gets involved in making healthy eating a common goal.

Infusion
In Acadie, the only “real” tea is King Cole, blended in New Brunswick for the past 100 years. Traditionally drunk with a spot of Carnation condensed milk, it recalls simpler days when people would take the time to stop and smell… the tea.

Treasures of the Bayous (Trésors des bayous)
To the south, in beautiful Louisiana, live the descendants of a people who came from the north; their new home is surrounded by the Bayous. The original inhabitants fed on small animals, berries, roots, and fish. The newcomers had to adapt and discovered new culinary treasures in crawfish, turtles, catfish, oysters, shrimp, crabs, and frogs. But the natural treasures of the Bayous are the Cajuns themselves.
