Quote about Prince Edward Island

"The film [Prince Edward Island] uses a historical analysis of a specific community that draws a picture of the class dynamics of its economic development. In this regard it points out the historical specificity of the class-based form of economy, and contemplates the possibility of its overhaul."
-- Malek Khouri (source)
