Claude Jutra and the culture of silence
Journal de Montreal's Lise Ravary sheds light on Quebec-wide reaction to the Claude Jutra pedophilia revelations.
If you didn't already know the name Claude Jutra, you probably know it now. This week, Quebeckers are seeing the late filmmaker in a new light.
On Tuesday, a new Jutra biography mentioned Jutra's sexual interest in underage teenagers. The next day, La Presse published the allegations of a man who says Jutra sexually abused him as a boy, beginning when he was six years old.
Lise Ravary, a columnist with the Journal de Montreal, joins Shad to talk about the scandal and the upheaval it's caused, from a name change for the Prix Jutra to the removal of his name from streets and parks across the province.
