Bonjour chers compatriotes et chers amis,
Marc Cormier, le “Michael Moore” des Français d’Amérique, vous propose d’assister en avant-première au documentaire “Educating Jay”. Projeté dans le cadre du festival ReelHeART (hors compétition), ce film retrace un périple de Toronto à Los Angeles en 2006 qui n’avait qu’un but : rencontrer le comédien anti-Français Jay Leno et lui donner une caisse de livres sur … l’histoire de France.
Cette projection n’est pas ouverte au public car le film n’a pas encore reçu toutes les autorisations nécessaires. Pour y assister, il faudra donc communiquer avec moi afin d’obtenir des places. L’entrée sera gratuite.
Bien entendu, vous pouvez partager cette invitation avec vos contacts en région.

très bonne chose se film 🙂
je suis en France, j’espère pouvoir le voir un jour.
Moi aussi, j’aimerai bien voir ce film bientot. Bonne Chance avec ce projet! Une seul chose a ajouter: ne vous limitez pas exclusifement sur Jay Leno….il faut que toute la France soi expose au sentiment anti-Francais q’existe aux USA, de tout les coins.
Other news…..Florian MORILLON, private first class from 1st company, 1st RCP, paratroop of the famed “Les Rapaces” was killed in South Tagab Valley in A-stan. He died on June 19th.
Yet another cause for celebration for the tweens at ff.com and french-bashers everywhere.
Encore un autre…..Cyrille Hugodot, 24, paratrooper , killed in firefight with Talibans while on a reconnaisance mission Saturday morning. I believe he is also of the 1st RCP “Les Rapaces”.
The tweens at FF.com and other French-bashers must be overjoyed at the latest round of recent French KIAs in A-stan.
I’m sorry to hear about the French soldiers that were killed. It’s ashame.
Vive La France!
I also don’t like learning about the deaths of the French soldiers because it is sad.
My apologies, I was never able to setup an online viewing of Educating Jay for technical reasons. We now seem to have solved that, so we’ll wait for the fall so we can have a proper invite to you all !
To Jim C. at Route 66 TV, with a cc to the bonnes gens at Michelon.org. This is me playing matchmaker, regarding a movie. Marc Albert Cormier (from Michelon.org, a person whose English is far better than my French) has a newly released movie called Educating Jay. It’s the adventures of some rogue Canadians (that may be redundant) who travel on Route 66 into L.A. in an effort to educate Jay Leno about the realities of French history and the French people. I love this idea for many reasons, including because about a quarter of my ancestry is from French immigrants to Vermont (aka. “Quebec South”).

Hi guys, I’m a French expat in Australia, and I’d love to know when will the film be available, and at what price?
Merci
Hey Damo, it’s still in post production. We’re working on a shoe-string budget here and so far we still need clearance for a lot of the material. Thank you for your patience!
Hi guys,
Is the doco finished yet?
If not, have you thought of Kickstarter?
I’m sure you could get funds this way…
I never pay for movies or music, but I’d definitely donate some of my hard earned money for this project.
Anyway, I hope all is good, and I hope to see Educating Jay soon!
