Teenage Riot: Montreal - Trailer

For one hundred days, students in Quebec have been protesting against proposed tuition hikes by Premier Jean Charest, the leader of an allegedly corrupt provincial government with widespread mafia links. And just like the rest of the dis-empowered youth of the world–they’re getting absolutely nowhere. The government has rejected all student proposals forcing radical groups into the streets. On May 1st VICE took to the streets to see what the fuss was about. The day was just the beginning of what has now become commonplace in Montreal: riots, masked protesters, and vast marches. Not long after Victoriaville was turned into a temporary warzone after student protesters clashed with riot squads, fringe anarchists smoke bombed the Metro system, and the Quebec government implemented a draconian anti-protest law called Bill 78, a move that’s more Soviet than Canadian. Now the movement has attracted the attention of the vigilante hacker union Anononymous and things seem destined to get worse before they get better.
