Women Do Not Go On Strike – In Development

Synopsis

Set against the high-profile strike and unionization of Montréal garment workers in the Spring of 1937, Women Do Not Go On Strike explores the intercultural and political tensions between four very different women who become reluctant comrades in a shared fight for gender equity.
