Summary:
A dramatic account of the events in Quebec in the autumn of 1970 that envoked the War Measures Act. Includes interviews with key figures of the October Crisis such as James Cross, Pierre Trudeau, and members of the FLQ, who participated in the kidnappings of Pierre Laporte and James Cross. Using dramatic re-creations, archival black and white film, Black October brings into focus the contradictions, misapprehensions and strengths of the decision-makers of the day. Reenactments show in vivid terms how Cross and Laporte kidnappings were planned and executed. Interviews include the former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, his then principle Secretary Marc Lalonde, and others in his government.
