A fresh, incisive look at Canadian politics, this film penetrates the surface glitter of the 1976 Progressive Conservative Party leadership convention, focusing on the campaign of Cape Bretoner Flora MacDonald, the first woman to contest her party’s leadership. (Follow-up film: Reflections on a Leadership Convention.)
