Freedom Outraged ( English Sub Titles)

Quatre personnages, qui furent au début des années 70 les acteurs d'une période mouvementée d'affirmation nationale au Québec, nous proposent un regard sur leur engagement social et politique. Au fil de leurs échanges, de séquences d'archives et de chansons de Plume Latraverse, on retrouve, le temps d'un film, Pierre Vallières, Charles Gagnon, Francis Simard et Robert Comeau.

A long and thoughtful look at those desperate days of October 1970, when Montréal awaited the outcome of FLQ terrorist acts. This film puts the October Crisis in the long perspective of history. Compiled from news and other films, it shows independence movements past and present, and their leaders; it reflects the mingled relief, dismay, defiance, when the Canadian army came to Montréal; and it shows how political leaders viewed the intervention.

In October 1970, members of the Front de libération du Québec kidnapped minister Pierre Laporte, unleashing an unprecedented crisis in Quebec. Fifty years later, Félix Rose tries to understand what led his father and uncle to commit these acts.
