Polytechnique

The film explores the harrowing events that took place in Montreal, Canada during December 1989. It is based on a true story, depicting the devastating actions of an unbalanced individual driven by deeply ingrained misogyny. This tragic occurrence shook not only the engineering campus where it happened but also the entire nation, as several promising female students lost their lives in a senseless act of violence. Through the dramatization, the film paints a vivid picture of the lives of these young women and how they were callously cut short by an act of hatred. The movie serves as both a testament to their lives and a reminder of the ongoing battle against gender-based violence.
