The Black Sheep (French: Le Mouton noir) is a Quebec documentary produced in 1992 by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
It is set during the Bélanger-Campeau commission (a public hearing to determine the way to choose for Quebec regarding its autonomy), before the Parti Libéral du Québec (in power, traditionally in favor of autonomy within Canada and co-initiator of the Accord with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada) formally closed the door to independence in the light of the death of Meech Lake and the departure of some Liberal nationalists to create the ADQ.
The main protagonists are five young politicians later to leave their mark on Quebec society: Michel Bissonnette, Denis Coderre, Mario Dumont, Joseph Facal, and Jean-François Simard.
Bourassa speaks of the Accord, his related famous speech in the National Assembly of Quebec and the cancer that would soon bring him to his demise.
Arcand gives his point of view on the similarities between the moment in question and another important event in Quebec nationalism and independentism, the 1980 referendum.
