Sinopsis
En 1865, mientras la Guerra Civil Americana se acerca a su fin, el presidente Abraham Lincoln propone una enmienda que prohíba la esclavitud en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo esto plantea un gran dilema: si la paz llega antes de que se apruebe la enmienda, el Sur tendrá poder para rechazarla y mantener la esclavitud; si la paz llega después, decenas de miles de personas seguirán muriendo en el frente. En una carrera contrarreloj para conseguir los votos necesarios, Lincoln se enfrenta a la mayor crisis de conciencia de su vida.

Since the cult success of Merci Patron!, activist/journalist/filmmaker François Ruffin has become an MP. Here, he attempts to table a law aimed at upholding the rights of what in Quebec are known as caregivers, and shows us in passing how a law whose need seems patently obvious is put together, debated, voted on and . . . dies on the battleground of French politics. A stirring documentary about social injustice that somehow manages to make us bust a gut laughing as we rage with indignation. And also cry at the beauty of it all, thanks to the director’s humanist sensibility and a deft play between reality and fiction.
