In RICHELIEU, filmmaker Pier-Philippe Chevigny, explores the mistreatment of migrant workers in Quebec / Canada through the interconnected and personal stories of Ariane (Ariane Castellanos ) - a French/Spanish interpreter at a food processing plant - and some of the Guatemalan men, like Manuel (Nelson Coronado), she works with and befriends through her work.

Pier-Philippe generously agreed to speak with me about making films addressing social justice themes, making a first-feature, and more.
