The film is essentially a sequel to A Man of His Word (Un homme de parole), his 1991 film about his father Michel Chartrand.[1] It was followed in 2000 by Chartrand et Simonne, his dramatic television miniseries about their relationship.[2]

The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 17th Genie Awards.[3]
