Description: Fact and fiction weave together the history of the town of Rapide Blanc. Founded in 1928 in an isolated region of Quebec forest, the town was conceived and constructed by the Shawinigan Water & Power company to function as a community for workers at the nearby dam and their families. When the company changed hands in 1971, the town was abruptly shut down.
