  • "Vidéo basé sur le livre de Len Scher (1992) décrivant comment, au cours de la guerre froide, entre la fin des années 1940 et le début des années 1970, plus d'un million de Canadiens furent enquêtés par leur propre gouvernement, altérant leurs vies irrémédiablement. Récits et documents illustrant le fonctionnement d'une agence gouvernementale, la "Security Panel", qui avec le service de sécurité de la GRC, modela et contrôla l'élaboration d'une "liste noire canadienne", influencée par les tactiques du sénateur américain Joe McCarthy. Entrevues, illustrées de métrage d'archives, avec des "subversifs" qui racontent l'effet sur leurs vies personnelles de leur inscription aux listes noires : arrestations et/ou emprisonnements abusifs, carrières ruinées, vies familiales détruites, humiliations... Description de la "loi du cadenas" québécoise sous le régime de Duplessis."

We also see the influence that the United States, and Senator Joe McCarthy's tactics, had on the Government of Canada. Through interviews, archival footage and revealing documents, the film tracks carreers ruined and their family lives destroyed. Director Len Scher knows about it : his father was one of those blacklisted. Based on the book by Len Scher."@en
