October 1970: Under the pretext of waging war against the terrorist group Front de libération du Québec, the Canadian Parliament passes the War Measures Act. The Police and the Army use it and try to break-up popular groups in the Province of Quebec. More than 400 people are arrested for what appears to be their social activities.

The audio is out of sync.
Jacques,
Audio seems fine to me, are you converting the file to fit on a DVD? In that case this is an issue that happens because the file is too big to fit on a DVD so in that process unsynchronization happens.
