2015. Eleven students at Montreal's Collège de Maisonneuve are arrested as they prepare to leave for Syria, where they plan to become Islamic State fighters. The student body-more than 50 percent of which is composed of Muslims of Arab descent-is deeply shocked. Over six episodes, Maisonneuve looks at the repercussions of this event and the questions it continues to raise, introducing us to five young adults who are trying to find their way in an environment where mistrust of the "other" is the norm. Filmed over several years, Maisonneuve drops us into the culturally pluralistic college as it picks up the pieces after the trauma of 2015. The protagonists' early opinions become more nuanced, revealing a maturity that reflects their journeys. We witness as their thinking evolves and becomes marked by a real openness to others. The series takes us into the heart of the dialogue between different factions, as the college creates a safe space for the exchange of ideas in order to foster debate and reduce tensions among students. With its humanistic approach, Maisonneuve highlights both the importance and the fragility of living together in harmony in Quebec.
