A new television series based on the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster is dividing opinion in the Quebec town where it is set.
“We lost 47 people. There are children who lost their parents, people who lost their friends, a mother who lost her son, a grandmother who lost her grandson,” he said in a phone interview. Pilon said that if the series had come in another 10 years, he might have watched. “For now, too many things are unresolved,” he said.Nathalie Michaud, a native of Lac-Mégantic who appeared as an extra in one scene, said she found the first episode to be “respectful, and not sensationalized.”
While she acknowledged some people might feel it’s too soon for such a production, “I don’t think the time will come when everybody is ready at the same time.”
