Les Perdants – A Losing Game

Directed by Jenny Cartwright

Produced by Pierre-Mathieu Fortin

A Losing Game (Les Perdants) follows three candidates in Quebec’s 2022 provincial election—each with one thing in common: no chance of winning. As their campaigns unfold, the film exposes the cracks in Quebec’s electoral system—from barriers faced by women and racialized candidates to flawed voting processes, skewed campaign financing, and the outsized influence of media and polls. With a sharp critical lens, director Jenny Cartwright reveals a system where the race is rigged from the start—and the real losers are the voters.
