  • Titles of Films
  • Sociology of Human Relations
OBS

Film produced in 1990 by the National Film Board. This film helps us come to terms with the murder of 14 women at an engineering school in Montreal. It deals with how these murders relate to the larger picture of male violence that confronts women on the streets and even in their own homes. The haunting images taken on the day of the massacre and in the days following set the stage for an exploration of the issues of misogyny, male violence and sexism.
