These negatives are film stills that depict portraits of the actors, the camera crew filming, someone playing a guitar, a protest and a crowd of people seated on a lawn from the production Prologue (working title The End). Directed by Robin Spry, this film follows the story of an underground newspaper with a young Montréaler as editor along with his female friend and a draft dodger from the United States. Two different approaches arise throughtout the film, militant protest vs. communal retreat. Some archival footage is used including a speech by anti-war activist Abbie Hoffman and rioting during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. The cast includes John Robb, Elaine Malus, Gary Rader, Peter Cullen and Christopher Cordeaux amongst others.
