A Child in His Country (French: Un enfant...un pays) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Pierre Moretti and released in 1967.[1] Blending various styles of animation including drawn backgrounds and photographic inserts, the film is a portrait of Canada through the eyes of a young boy who has recently immigrated to the country with his family, and imagines himself in various situations as a hunter of polar bears, a cowboy, a hockey player and a swimmer.
The film's score, by Pierre F. Brault, was noted as one of the first times Brault had ever composed a film score in a rock modality.[2]
It received an honorable mention for Best Animated Short at the 20th Canadian Film Awards in 1968, although no winner was named above it.[3]
