Description

Explore the legacy of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, which has touched generations of readers from all over the world over the past seventy-five years. Acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Charles Officer (Unarmed Verses) weaves together the french author's extraordinary life story—from his childhood to his love affair, his friendships to his politics—with fascinating discussions on the magical book, getting at the heart of what has made this best-selling classic so special. Featuring The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik, poet Rupi Kaur, members of St-Exupéry family, and more, this imaginative film invites us to consider the curious ways life and art reflect one another.

The film will be available for 48 hours from when you start the stream. Please note streaming is only possible from inside Canada. Need assistance? Visit our FAQ page or email us at streamingsupport@hotdocs.ca.
