Richelieu (2023) directed by Pier-Phillipe Chevigny

Trying to get her life back on track after a breakup, Ariane moves back to her hometown by the Richelieu river in southern Quebec. To save her sinking finances, she takes a job at the local food transformation plant as a French-to-Spanish interpreter for the seasonal migrant workers employed there. Witnessing workplace abuses, she must decide how far she is willing to go to speak out.

Followed by a discussion on migrant justice with filmmaker Pier-Phillipe Chevigny.

Mayworks Festival of Working People & the Arts annually presents new works by a diverse range of artists, who are both workers and activists. We prioritize the participation of artists and audiences from communities facing systemic discrimination. Our programming offers bold, insightful, responses to pressing issues at the intersection of art, social justice and labour. We are actively engaged in a social dialogue that challenges the logics of capitalism, and seeks to reimagine and represent a just future.
