about

---- English Text Below ----  

« 1948 - L'AFFAIRE SILICOSE, L'HISTOIRE D'UNE INJUSTICE », documentaire de Bruno Carrière qui lève enfin le voile sur le drame qui a secoué les mineurs de Saint-Rémi-d'Amherst, leurs familles et tout le Québec des années 40. Un film percutant et touchant, où les émotions et la trame historique se confondent.

  En mars 1948, le journaliste Burton LeDoux publie dans la revue Relations un article qui met en lumière les ravages de la silicose, maladie industrielle qui a causé la mort de dizaines de mineurs de Saint-Rémi-d'Amherst, localité des Laurentides déjà surnommée « Le village des veuves ». La publication crée une onde de choc.

Dans son documentaire, à partir d'entrevues avec des historiens et des témoins de l'époque, Bruno Carrière nous fait revivre le drame de ces familles décimées par la silicose. Encore plus, avec la complicité des résidents de St-Rémi et des environs, qui ont revêtu pour l'occasion des costumes d'époque, il nous replonge dans l’univers de ces années de la Grande Noirceur. En résulte un film qui trace l'histoire du premier grand scandale des maladies industrielles au Québec.

  ORIGINAL SCORE from
"1948 - THE SILICOSIS AFFAIR, THE STORY OF AN INJUSTICE"

"  1948 - The Silicosis Affair, The Story of an Injustice", a documentary by Bruno Carrière which finally reveals the tragedy that shook the miners of Saint-Rémi-d'Amherst, their families and the entire Canadian province of Quebec in the 1940s. A powerful and touching film, where emotions and historic events merge into a gripping story.

  In March 1948, reporter Burton LeDoux publishes an article in Relations magazine highlighting the ravages of silicosis, an industrial disease that caused the death of dozens of miners in Saint-Rémi-d'Amherst, a town in the Laurentians soon to be known as " The Village of Widows". The article creates a shock wave.

In his documentary, built upon interviews with historians and witnesses, Bruno Carrière makes us relive the tragedy of the families that were decimated by silicosis. In its cinematic narrative sequences, residents from St-Rémi and the surrounding areas dressed up in period costumes to reenact scenes from this historical tragedy, taking us back to the years of « La Grande Noirceur », "The Great Darkness". The film tells the story of the first major industrial disease scandal in Quebec.
