A tuition hike in Quebec sets off the 2012 Montreal student strike, and the film follows the movement through six months of marches, blockades, and nightly street confrontations with police. Demonstrations swell past one hundred thousand people at their peak, turning downtown Montreal into a recurring flashpoint, while riot squads make mass arrests that run into the hundreds over the course of the strike. The camera stays close to the students themselves rather than officials or commentators, following organizers and rank-and-file activists as they debate tactics, face down police lines, and explain why they keep coming back after arrests and injuries. Interviews trace how a fight over tuition costs becomes, for many participants, a fight over what public education and public protest are supposed to look like in Quebec. The film does not follow the strike to its political resolution so much as sit inside its middle stretch, watching a movement figure out its own resilience in real time, block by block and night by night.
