Inspiration[edit]
The film is inspired by the rise of right-wing extremism in Quebec following the migrant surge from 2017 to 2020, when thousands fled the US to avoid deportation and crossed the border “illegally” into the province[2]. Right-wing militia groups held demonstrations in cities and at the border[3][4][5][6].
The director was researching the topic when he saw an article on extremist groups with the image of a young boy holding a flag. He though: “that kid doesn’t understand what the politics are behind all of this, he is just following his parents. That would be an interesting starting point to tell a story.”[7][8][9]
