This
documentary (directed by Academy Award winner Denys Arcand) looks at labour
relations in manufacturing, and sheds light on the relationship between
capital and cultural belonging. What group does management represent? What
about the workers? What problems do workers in textile mills develop? Have
conditions improved in the years since this film was made? What recourse is
available for workers who have lost their jobs? Ideal for use in social
studies.
