Malarek
(a street kid who made it)
As Victor
Malarek, Elias got his first major role and garnished a Genie Award
nomination for best actor. The movie is based on the real-life story
of Victor Malarek, a troubled youth, who becomes a street reporter for the
Montreal Tribune after spending time in a juvenile detention center.
When he witnesses a policeman's cold execution of a teen who escaped from
the detention center, Malarek becomes obsessed with bringing those
responsible to justice.
Because he has first-hand experience in the youth center, Malarek is able
to sympathize and fight for the rights of the abused and forgotten
children. His efforts to expose the abuses lead to a coverup
regarding suicides in a nearby psychiatric hospital. Wanted by
the police for harboring a fugitive and under pressure from his editor to
have concrete evidence, Malarek becomes more determined to bring
those accountable to justice.
