There were so many
outstanding films at the 2017 Victoria Film Festival. I don't like to pick favourites, but if I had to, it'd be Merci
Patron! / Thanks Boss!
It's Michael Moore meets The Yes Men as François Ruffin, founder of the Fakir Journal, takes on corporate CEO Bernard Arnault. Ruffin's diabolical plan to bring justice to
two displaced workers reveals just how capitalism creates poverty and
employment, in the process draining the state welfare coffers. All the statistics in the world can't
tell the story as effectively as the personal account of Serge and Jocelyne
Klur, the unsuspecting heroes of a brilliant coup that establishes payback and
justice and even the legal right to tell this story.
Bravo
François Ruffin, and on behalf of everyone working for some justice in this
world of corporate slavery, thank you for giving us some hope! We might not win the war, but we can
sure enjoy celebrating battle wins like these along the way.
