 | | Canada's spiritual shortcomings, said Godbout at a conference at the Institute of Canadian Studies in 1997, are found in the nature of its culture, its imagination and its institutions, and can best be resolved by artists, academics, inventors and thinkers. |
 | | Godbout has gone far to resolve this deficiency of spirit with his writing and his filmmaking, which have been recognized and admired around the world. |
 | | Godbout earned a master of arts in 1954 at the Université de Montréal, taught in Ethiopia for three years, traveled to Haiti, where he met his wife, and eventually returned to Canada to join the National Film Board (NFB). |
