Cette série documentaire relate le combat des minorités francophones hors Québec pour le droit à une éducation en français de qualité. En 1982, avec l’adoption de l’article 23 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés, la Constitution canadienne reconnaît aux minorités linguistiques le droit à l’éducation dans leur propre langue. Mais les minorités francophones du pays font alors face à une dure réalité : les infrastructures nécessaires pour recevoir une éducation française manquent ou sont carrément inexistantes. Des comités de parents décident d’entreprendre des batailles judiciaires contre leur gouvernement provincial pour que leurs droits soient reconnus et respectés. Droit comme un F relate six de ces histoires.
