"Back to the New World" (French: "Retour en Amérique") is a 2008 short fiction film by Quebec films directors Isabelle Lavigne, Denys Desjardins, Stéphane Thibault and Julie Perron.

Plot

"Back to the New World" follows the initiation of a group of French tourists into Amerindian life. They come to Quebec to live “like real Indians” for an exotic weekend. They are guided by Armand, alias Scalpe d’argent (“Silver Scalp”), a retired civil servant and the sole inhabitant of Innusit village. He introduces his guests to the pleasures and pastimes of the First Nations. With a knowing wink and a hint at the “white man’s burden”. "Back to the New World" considers the general amnesia afflicting whites in relation to the Aboriginal question.
