In October 1970 the Canadian government passed an ordinance which suspended the civil rights of the Québec people in order to infiltrate the actions of the FLQ, the left-wing separatist group responsible for a series of bombings. Michel Brault’s impassioned docudrama reenactment was a crowning achievement in the director’s prolific career.
