Recall: How to Start a Revolution

by CBC
57

The 1950s & 60s saw a wave of radical movements. Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution. The Black Panthers. Quebec and Canada had the FLQ — a showdown that dissolved into crisis. By October 1970, there were soldiers in the streets, communities on edge, kidnapping and terror in the headlines. But those frightening weeks were just the crescendo of a wave of terror and violence that was nearly a decade in the making. This series will reveal the stories of that time through immersive storytelling and the people who lived it: the bomb disposal expert on defusing live explosives, the survivors of terror, their families, and the radicals themselves.

    Excellent Podcast
    Excellent well researched podcast which is accessible to non Canadians would have liked a little more context on Quebec but despite that I learnt a huge amount in a enjoyable way.

    Super interesting.
    I was hooked by the first episode and as a Canadian, I’m interested in learning more about this history that I know nearly nothing about.
