About this Event

Trying to get her life back on track after a breakup, Ariane moves back to her hometown by the Richelieu river in southern Quebec. To save her sinking finances, she takes a job at the local food transformation plant as a French-to-Spanish interpreter for the seasonal migrant workers employed there. Witnessing workplace abuses, she must decide how far she is willing to go to speak out. 

Followed by a discussion on migrant justice with filmmaker Pier-Phillipe Chevigny.
