St-Henri, the 26th of August

Directed by Shannon Walsh and 16 fellow documentary filmmakers, this full-length documentary is a collaborative work made in the spirit of cinéma-vérité. Chronicling life in a former working-class Montreal neighborhood over a 24-hour period, St-Henri, the 26th of August follows several compelling stories and characters. The film is an homage to the 1962 Hubert Aquin classic "À Saint-Henri le cinq septembre".
