Grand Pré -Gaza et le Enfants film de Cajun Dead et le Walkin Stick

**WORLD PREMIERE — CAJUN DEAD ET LE WALKING STICK**
**Volume One: Blomidon to Bayou Teche**
*Humanitarian Feature Film | Claude Edwin Theriault | Nova Scotia, Canada*

Two five-year-old children, Grand Pré, Nova Scotia, 1755. Two five-year-old children, Gaza, 2025. One road. The same ocean. The same falling snow. Two hundred and seventy years apart.

Nova Scotia French Acadian artist and creative director Claude Edwin Theriault presents his debut feature film — a humanitarian cinematic work placing the 1755 Acadian Grand Dérangement and the 2025 Gaza refugee crisis side by side in a single dual-timeline narrative. Both pairs of children are carried across oceans by the same immortal humanitarian figure, Cajun Dead, whose walking stick carries a carved mark for every displaced child he has brought to safety across three centuries.

This is a humanitarian film in four languages — English, French, Algerian Arabic, and Italian — with no spoken dialogue. Twenty visual blocks. Twenty songs. The entire narrative is sung, not spoken, drawing from the parallel *Cajun Dead et le Talkin’ Stick* album catalogue.

*Cajun Dead et le Walking Stick* was created specifically for neurodivergent children — autistic and Asperger’s audiences who read visual symbolism and musical emotion with total fluency and deserve stories told in their language. The creator is himself neurodivergent and French Acadian.
