Description
A thoughtful look at the desperate days of the October Crisis, when FLQ terror gripped the streets of Montreal and it seemed that Quebec's search for independence and security of its language and culture might end in insurrection and repression. Film by National Film Board of Canada crews during the events themselves, and supplemented by news and other actuality films, this documentary of the Crisis shows that, beyond the immediate threat of the FLQ bombings, the kidnappings and finally the murder of Pierre Laporte, a Quebec cabinet minister, there were more widespread resentments that had been a long time in growing. The FLQ objective of an independent, sovereign Quebec was supported by several legitimate political movements. This film puts the Crisis into the long perspective of history. The protagonists are Pierre Trudeau, Robert Bourassa, René Levesque, Jean Drapeau, Tommy Douglas and others. Their speeches, statements and explanations are interwoven with the kidnappings, the communiqués, the FLQ manifesto, the War Measures Act, the death of Laporte, the arrival of the Canadian Army, the arrests and escapes, and the questions of civil liberties
