The "Canadian Fuhrer" Adrien Arcand - Ernst Zundel's mentor

This documentary explores the life and influence of Adrien Arcand (1899–1967), the Canadian fascist leader dubbed the "Canadian Fuhrer," who founded the National Unity Party in the 1930s and promoted virulent anti-Semitism through publications like "Le Goglu" and "Le Miroir." It traces his early career as a journalist, his admiration for Mussolini and Hitler, internment during World War II, and postwar mentorship of young extremists, including Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, whom Arcand guided in the 1960s, fostering Zundel's nationalist views and network of far-right contacts. Drawing from archival footage, interviews with historians, and Zundel's own recollections, the film examines Arcand's role in importing Nazi ideology to Canada, his propagation of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," and his lasting impact on the country's antisemitic undercurrents amid the Quiet Revolution.
