SYNOPSIS
Following the imprisonment of the leaders of the Common Front union coalition during the 1972 general strike in Quebec, workers and activists in Sept-Îles spontaneously occupied the town. Through the testimonies of a handful of activist friends and archival footage, this film recounts the reasons behind the revolt, the course of events during the occupation—which ended tragically—and its lasting impact on the lives of those who lived through it.
