Overthrown - Festival de cinéma de la ville de Québec
Overthrow reveals the behind-the-scenes reality of women in politics, far from cameras and official speeches. Through candid testimonies from prominent Quebec political figures, the documentary exposes the challenges women face in spheres of power that still resist their presence. Obstacles, struggles, strategies, and victories unfold in a lucid portrait of a system shaped by inequality and invisible barriers. Blending intimate reflections with political insight, the film shows how these women persist, transform institutions, and redefine power. Overthrow offers a compelling story of courage, resilience, and change.
Screening attended by director Amélie Hardy and the film crew, as well as Pauline Marois, Louise Harel, Manon Massé, Véronique Hivon, Marwah Rizqy, Marjolaine Étienne, Émilie Foster, France Bélisle, Jocelyne Richer, Catherine Fournier, and Léa Clermont-Dion
