Joveneau was associated with the Oblates of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and came to the region in 1953, where he remained until his death in 1992. He also allegedly deported Innu, forced marriages, and decided which children were sent to boarding schools.

They debunk the myth that Joveneau built thanks to the power of his position, even earning the nickname “Pope of the North Coast.” Archive images and on-site interviews add a lot of concreteness to the documentary series produced by Isabelle Tincler.
