Face to Face (photograph)

[2] Komulainen believes she shot between 20 and 25 frames of the pair, and passed along the film, before Bill Grimshaw drove it to the Canadian Press in Montreal, where he developed and printed it.

[1] At the time, Brad "Freddy Krueger" Larocque was studying at the University of Saskatchewan, but had made his way to Kanesatake earlier in the summer to support the Mohawk people.

[4] "Lasagna" (whose real name was Ronaldo Casalpro) had been photographed engaging in a similar – though slightly more spaced – face-to-face confrontation with a different soldier.

[3] The Globe and Mail even compared Cloutier to "the man who stared down a Red Army tank in Beijing's Tiananmen Square last year.

"[3] Quebec media emphasized Cloutier's "Quebecois roots", and La Presse described him as "the little soldier staring unblinkingly at the angry Warrior."

[7] Cloutier served the Canadian military again during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and upon his return to Canada, many of his friends from the service committed suicide.

[8] In 1995, he appeared in a softcore pornographic film, Quebec Sexy Girls II: The Confrontation, which specifically parodied the events at Oka.

Je passe beaucoup de temps au Nunavut et les Premières Nations, c'est mon peuple préféré."

Eight months later, Komulainen was severely injured when her car spun into a truck just outside Oka, where she was working on a follow-up story for Saturday Night.

[2] The photograph frequently appears in Canadian media stories, only partially connected with the Oka Crisis, such as coverage of the Grand River land dispute.
