In October 1970, members of the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) kidnapped minister Pierre Laporte, unleashing an unprecedented crisis in Quebec. Fifty years later, Félix Rose, the son of Paul Rose, one of the kidnappers at the heart of the drama, tries to understand what led his father and uncle to commit these acts.
The Rose Family (2020) is a documentary film by Felix Rose, who will be present for a Q&A after the screening. It is part of Francine Pelletier's journalist-in-residence documentary series.
