SYNOPSIS
On October 26th, 2012, a red dust blanketed Quebec City, and more specifically the Limoilou district, where Véronique Lalande and her partner Louis Duchesne had bought and renovated a small duplex to raise their one-year-old son, Léo. Iron oxide, nickel, zinc copper, arsenic and other heavy metals fall on the neighbourhoods surrounding the Port of Quebec, home to St. Lawrence Stevedoring, the largest nickel ferry in North America. Ever since, Véronique has been calling, writing and calling out, spreading her indignation and her desire for a healthy environment.
Will this ordinary citizen succeed in forcing this multinational to comply with the law?
