What if you had to argue your own case before the Supreme Court of Canada?
Once a promising wrestler, an accident and a medical error turned Frédéric St-Jean’s life upside down. He became a lawyer and decided to represent himself in a legal battle for the victims of medical malpractice that led him all the way to the country’s highest court.
In this documentary, Frédéric recounts his unpredictable journey and the highs and lows of his decade-long court case. His story offers a unique look at the Supreme Court from the perspective of someone who lived both the personal and professional sides of a landmark case.
This documentary is part of a series of short films giving voice to citizens who brought their cases to the Supreme Court of Canada, featured throughout the docu-course Keys to the Court. These documentaries offer perspectives rarely heard on their experience with the justice system and the lasting impact of those experiences on their families and communities.
