-Breaking with the values of a bourgeois elite, 'Refus global' denounces the excesses of science dominated by reason. For Paul-Émile Borduas and his group, it is now necessary to undertake a transformation of sensibilities, to make way for values such as love, objective mysteries, passion, anarchy, from which a new and spontaneous order would emerge. The program "Format 60" of December 17, 1971 presents excerpts from interviews with signatories of 'Refus global'. Each one explains, in its own way, the context in which the manifesto was published and its impact on society.
