Details.
Wiki.
Secret Nation is a 1992 political thriller written by Edward Riche, directed by Mike Jones and starring Cathy Jones, with Rick Mercer, Ron Hynes, Mary Walsh, Andy Jones and other well-known Newfoundland actors in supporting roles.
Cathy Jones plays Frieda Vokey, a graduate student in history working to complete her thesis on confederation in 1949. She returns home to Newfoundland to investigate the theory that the province's 1949 entry into Canada was the result of a conspiracy. Examining personal papers released following the death of a politician with significant involvement in Newfoundland's entry into confederation, she begins to believe that the results of the referenda were faked, and that confederation with Canada may not have been the will of the people of the time.
Secret Nation was produced for nearly $2 million by the National Film Board of Canada, with $1.8 million provided by First Choice and the CBC. The film was invited to New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, and screened as part of the This Film is From Canada Series.
