Grève à Jeune Afrique
Carole Roussopoulos
France – 1972 – 20′
The workers of “Jeune Afrique” are going to be deported. A very hard strike begins, and for two months, the premises are occupied. They organize a solidarity demonstration, with the participation of hundreds of journalists.
La Guerre des Centimes / War of Cents
Nader S. Ayache
France – 2018 – 37′
This film retraces the lives of two bike delivery workers in Paris. Both foreigners, Omar and Marwen came to France for a dream; they find themselves cycling for survival. Through this intimate double portrait, we discover the daily lives of many young students, but also fathers, who (re)put their lives on the line to succeed in this new economic system: uberization.
