Through touching testimonials, previously unseen film and photographic archives from the BAnQ, and the perspectives of academics and activists, the documentary Voir – Juger – Agir : L’histoire de la JOC au Québec (See – Judge – Act: The History of the JOC in Quebec) traces nearly a century of collective engagement by the Jeunesse ouvrière catholique (Catholic Workers Youth Movement), or JOC. From church basements to labor struggles, from popular education circles to feminist mobilizations, this film traces the journey of a movement that gave voice to a generation often marginalized by the clerical, political, and business elite.
