Voir – Juger – Agir : L’histoire de la JOC au Québec explores the overlooked history of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Catholique (JOC), a grassroots labor movement deeply rooted in Quebec’s working-class neighborhoods since the 1930s. Through powerful testimonies, never-before-seen archival footage, and expert analysis, the film reveals nearly a century of youth-led social activism driven by a pursuit of justice and solidarity. From church basements to feminist and labor struggles, this thoughtful and politically engaged documentary looks back at the lasting impact of the JOC and its decisive role in the upheavals of the Quiet Revolution.
Stay with us for a discussion after the screenings!

Normand Compte Former JOC member, program officer at Développement et Paix
Normand Comte developed his commitment to the JOC in the 1980s and 1990s, a journey that took him all the way to Colombia, where he spent five years as a leader of the continental JOC. Later, he studied sociology and international development at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO). Today, he continues to pursue this same ideal of social justice on the international stage as a program officer at Development and Peace, where he is responsible for programming in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Paraguay.

Convinced of the power of collective organization, she then took this commitment to Peru, where she worked as a volunteer with women’s organizations. She continued her career in Montreal as a consultant in the fields of workforce training and the social economy.
