Polytechnique
Directed by Denis Villeneuve
Produced by Don Carmody Productions, Remstar Productions
A grave, unflinching dramatization of a real mass shooting that grapples with misogyny and senseless violence through a reflective, investigative lens.
A dramatization of the École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal, on December 9, 1989, where 14 female engineering students were murdered (and 13 were wounded) by a 25 year old psychotic misogynist armed with a semi-automatic weapon.
