In November 2018, after 100 years of production, General Motors announced it was closing its auto plant in Oshawa, Ontario. GM workers were shaken to their core. This film presents an intense portrait of the embattled workers and their union representatives including exclusive access to Unifor President Jerry Dias and his senior negotiators as they all face the fight of their lives. Content Warning: language may be offensive to some viewers .

Company Town

When General Motors announces it's closing operations after 100 years of building automobiles in Oshawa, workers mobilize to save the plant in what will become the fight of their lives.

The Soeurs Auxiliatrices du Québec (Helper Nuns of Quebec), are a small order of feminist and politically engaged Catholic nuns based in Montreal. They believe in God but not in a Church dominated by men. The sisters, who for many years campaigned for women's rights, social justice and international solidarity, are now facing the disappearance of their religious order as their own lives are drawing to a close. A handful of them, determined, generous and irresistible, join together to talk about the struggle against patriarchy and the legacy they want to leave.Awards: Quebec City International Film Festival 2020 AQCC Critics Award nominee
