In the fall of 1970, after political kidnappings by Quebec separationists, Pierre Trudeau made the first-ever peacetime invocation of the War Measures Act-and accordingly, police made arrests of over 450 civilians. Working from interviews by five of those individuals, writer/director Michel Brault rendered a provocative consideration of the tension between national security and civil liberties. Jean Lapointe, Hélène Loiselle, Claude Gauthier, Louise Forestier, Guy Provost star. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In French with English subtitles.
