Making Movie History: Monique Fortier is an interesting glimpse into a groundbreaking figure within the NFB during a time when the industry was quite male-dominated. The film has this raw authenticity, blending archival footage and interviews that draw you into Fortier's journey. You really get a sense of her determination and the challenges she faced. There’s a real intimacy in her story — from her start as a secretary to becoming the first francophone woman to direct a film. It’s more than just a biography; it’s a reflection on the evolving role of women in film during the 50s and 60s. Just the way it captures that historical context is worth noting. Not overly flashy, but it has a certain depth that resonates.
