this film take place in the infamous 1970 october crisis in québec . after a separatist movement kidnap a minister of the government and the army be in the street of montreal and make hundred and hundred of arrest and with the help of the police . the arrest be student and activist and syndicalist and but also people who look strange and be at the wrong place at the wrong time and really do not have anything to do with the situation . this film show the complete lost of control of the canadian government ( pierre . e. trudeau ) and how they orchestrate their plan of make all separatist look like terrorist . the acting of jean lapointe a a textile worker and taxi driver be incredible . in my opinion and this film rank with costa gavras z and the infamous battaglia di algeri of gillo pontecorvo and a the top 3 best political movie of all time . a must see .
