The Last Nataq (French: Le dernier Nataq) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Lisette Marcotte and released in 2019.[1] The film is a portrait of Québécois singer-songwriter Richard Desjardins, exploring both his life and the impact of his upbringing in Rouyn-Noranda on the themes and values expressed in his work.[2]

The film premiered at the Abitibi-Témiscamingue International Film Festival in 2019,[1] and was screened at the 2020 edition of the Rendez-Vous French Film Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec, its planned theatrical release in 2020 was delayed, with the film having its commercial opening on April 21, 2021.[4]
