Les membres du Front de libération du Québec tels que Pierre Vallières, Charles Gagnon, Francis Simard et Robert Comeau échangent sur leur militantisme au début des années 1970. Plus de vingt ans après cette période agitée d’affirmation nationale au Québec, le récit de leurs visées sociale et politique, émaillé de films d’archives et de chansons de Plume Latraverse, montre comment l’enjeu de la liberté d’une nation est et peut demeurer incontournable.

The Invisible War features interviews with veterans from multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces who recount the events surrounding their assaults. Their stories show many common themes, such as the lack of recourse to an impartial justice system, reprisals against survivors instead of against perpetrators, the absence of adequate emotional and physical care for survivors, the unhindered advancement of perpetrators' careers, and the forced expulsion of survivors from service.

Kony 2012 est un événement international organisé par le groupe Invisible Children. Le but recherché est de faire connaître mondialement Joseph Kony pour mieux faciliter son arrestation. Joseph Kony est responsable de crimes d'enlèvements d'enfants pour en faire des soldats, de réduction d'enfants à l'esclavage ainsi que l'esclavage sexuel pour les jeunes filles, de nombreux massacres civils, d'exactions et de nombreuses destructions et pillages réalisés par les troupes de chocs. Ce criminel est resté dans le silence pendant une vingtaine d'années à commettre ses crimes sans en payer les conséquences.
