After a career as a carpenter, Irvin Blais decides to give up everything and devote himself to his singing career.

Irvin Blais : La Voix du Peuple is a fascinating incursion into the world of this man who sings what the majority of the population thinks at the bottom of his voice: the loss of ‘old time’ values, the fear of multiculturalism, the feeling of being despised by the elites and politicians… A frontal and uncompromising look, under a country music background, at the silent majority that has found in Irvin Blais a charismatic and prophetic spokesman
