VOIR – JUGER – AGIR : L’HISTOIRE DE LA JOC AU QUÉBEC by Annie Deniel

Canada (Quebec). 2025. 70 mins. Documentary. (G)

The documentary traces the little-known history of the Catholic Young Workers’ Movement (JOC), a labour movement rooted in Quebec’s working-class neighbourhoods since the 1930s. Through personal accounts, previously unseen archive footage and expert analysis, the film reveals nearly a century of social activism driven by young workers in search of justice and solidarity.

“More than a history lesson, the film is a lesson in commitment, acting as a remedy for the social decline we see today.” (Martin Bilodeau, Mediafilm)
