Description

Growing up gay in a small town in France, Édouard endured the violence and homophobia of his alcoholic, right-wing father, a factory worker. Now, Édouard confronts his father, uncovering a startling connection between political decisions and his father's broken body. Louis sets about rewriting the recent social and political history of France, exposing how the consequences of neo-liberal "reforms" inflicted on the lives of workers are lived out in their own bodies. Who Killed My Father is an intimate declaration of love from son to father and a defiant call for social justice.
