Action: The October Crisis of 1970

The beginning is very confusing. The first, about, 15 minutes was a lot of riot footage from different riots, and it was rather difficult to follow the transitions as the whole timeline was laid out with the necessary background information on the actual event. It was about a half hour into the movie that I finally understood what the Crisis in question was, although I question it being called the October crisis as the one kidnapping victim was missing for about 2 months and the other acts of terrorism went on for months before that. So perhaps I still missed that detail. For the most part the video made sense and could be followed, but there were some transitions - especially at the beginning - that I had to stop and go back and was maybe still a little confused about the timeline. Overall, I gathered that this video was covering a very messy time in Quebec and Canadian history, so it is not surprising that there was a lot to cover and not a great way to go about it. I get also get the sense that it would be more impactful if you could at least read, if not speak, French as well as English. That is likely true for most stories or anything with Quebec though. This video is entirely worth watching if you have any interest in Quebec or all of Canadian History. I have said a couple times that it was a little hard to follow, but I am confident I understood the majority of it, and the main points are shocking to someone with, mostly, only a stereotype understanding of Canada. It is saddening, but also humbling in a way. In a way I feel that it offered an unfortunately relatable view of Canadian politics. Like the idea that Canada could have such acts of pure terrorism inflicted on them by their own citizens makes it seem like Canada has more in common with the rest of the world. Which is unfortunate since in some ways I viewed them as a better than that before, but a country is made up of individuals who always come in a spectrum.
