Guylaine Maroist

She is well known for her documentary productions such as Gentilly or Not To Be,[2] Time Bombs,[3] Disunited States of Canada,[4] God Save Justin Trudeau,[5] Jukebox[6] and Backlash: Misogyny in the Digital Age.

The documentary raised questions about the safety of the plant, its nuclear waste and, in particular, the potential negative impact on the health of citizens of the region, asking whether it was better to go ahead with the refurbishment of Gentilly-2, or to take the opportunity to turn to alternative energy sources.

[15] According to Tom Mulcair of the NDP and Pauline Marois, Quebec Premier at the time, the documentary played a decisive role in the mobilization of public opinion against the refurbishment project, leading to its ultimate cancellation.

The project, called J’ai la mémoire qui tourne[17] (My Memories On A Roll), caught the attention of the International Contest of Educational Programs in Japan, winning a nomination for the top prize.

In 2015, Maroist teamed up with Prof. Sergei Plekhanov of York University and the Canadian Pugwash Group to produce a documentary advocating the abolition of nuclear weapons.

[19] The film follows four women whose lives have been particularly impacted by online misogyny: Laura Boldrini, Kiah Morris, Marion Séclin and Laurence Gratton.

[20] Donna Zuckerberg, a specialist in online violence against women and the sister of Facebook’s founder, features in it as an expert,[21] as well as Sarah T. Roberts from UCLA.
