Francine Pelletier’s life changed 25 years ago. A gunman killed 14 women at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique before taking his own life -- but Marc Lépine’s reign of terror didn’t end there. He left behind a list of other women whom he’d planned on killing. Pelletier, an award-winning journalist, columnist and documentary filmmaker, found her name on that list. Ten years later-- and by then a co-host of the fifth estate -- she was deep into an investigation on what happened, why and to whom. In this clip Pelletier talks about her fifth estate documentary “Legacy of Pain.” The former host of the show says the Montreal Massacre left her angry and needing answers.
