Seven lives come together amid the stench of beer and tobacco smoke in an apartment block where single rooms are for rent and the bathroom is in the hall. Only friendship, mutual aid and a healthy sense of humor allow these men, scarred by self-destruction and addiction, to face the harsh reality of their lives.

Minoritaires offers an insider perspective on the Mouvement des Insoumis and its members’ political actions from 2011 to 2016. Following the Parti Québécois’ proposed Quebec Charter of Values in 2013, the Insoumis focused their attention on issues around identity, and their concerns crystallized into a fear of the ‘Islamization’ of Quebec. The group’s ideological contradictions and confusion are slowly revealed before the camera, but so is a troubling familiarity.
