Years of Hope and Anger is the 16th episode of the dramatic documentary television series, Canada: A People's History.
The episode first aired on CBC Television on November 11, 2001. As with the rest of the series, the story was told by the people involved and included a great sense of drama. This episode covered Canadian History from 1964 to 1976, despite the fact that some of the events in the earlier chapters occurred in the years preceding 1964. Due to the nature of the time period, the visuals used included photos, filming of indirect objects and archival recordings. Most of the words were recorded by voice actors, while some of the words were spoken by the figures themselves, and a few among this number were in the French language, with English subtitles.
Some of the main themes in this episode included Quebec sovereignty movement, the challenging of the status quo and the effects of progress. Special attention was placed on the possibilities of the era. The Vignettes and Chapter descriptions support this.
