This 1973 doc about social struggle draws a parallel between the exploitation of Quebec’s miners and mineral wealth and similar circumstances in Chile. The injustices inflicted on these men are condemned by both René Lévesque and Salvador Allende. The miners themselves are also given the opportunity to speak out. Richesse des autres offers 94 minutes of testimonies by Quebecers and Chileans on a situation that’s unanimously denounced.
