Synopsis
A short experimental film about the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. The film centres on a fictional group of gay men who frequent a Chinese bathhouse, which happens to be strike headquarters. This specific site, where men from all walks of life meet for anonymous sex, becomes the point of convergence for the bloody riots. The film culminates in a reinvented ending of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike.
