L'Homme qui en disait trop

The Man Who Talked Too Much

Roger Vandermeiren is a union delegate at Monsanto, a factory near Antwerp. When he defends a colleague accused of stealing documents, he is dismissed. A seven-week strike does not save his job. During six months of legal proceedings he goes on working as a delegate from a caravan at the factory gate, until a court confirms his dismissal. The film follows the case step by step, with library footage and his own account.
