Debouttes! is a 48-minute documentary podcast directed by Jenny Cartwright that recounts an important and forgotten part of Quebec’s history. In 1971, members of the Front de libération des Femmes du Québec (FLF) took action to denounce the sexist justice system and its Jury Act, which stipulated that only men could serve on juries. Shouting “Discrimination! Justice is bullshit!”, seven women stormed the jury box at Sûreté du Québec headquarters, taking their seats in a way that no woman had done before.
