On December 6, 1989, a gunman entered the engineering building at the
University of Montreal and killed fourteen women. This forceful, moving
documentary situates this extraordinary crime within the context of other kinds
of violence against women. A wounded survivor and other students describe the
harrowing event, widely understood as a backlash against feminism. Activists
and journalists explain its impact, linking the massacre with cases of rape,
sexual harassment and torture worldwide. This lucid, thought-provoking tape is
indispensable for organizations dealing with violence against women, as well as
for women's studies classes.
