Pâtisserie, le beurre et l'argent du beurre

French pastry-making is undergoing major changes. More and more retailers are succumbing to the siren call of industrialization, without always informing their customers. This film investigates the industry's professionals and takes a look inside the factories. Bakeries and pastry shops welcome more than ten million customers every day. While the term "bakery" requires artisans to make their bread on site, there are no regulations governing the "pastry" business. This legal loophole is being exploited by a growing number of professionals who sell industrially produced products without displaying or admitting their origin. How, then, can they be distinguished from homemade products?

BBC – Chernobyl and Fukushima: The Lesson

Chernobyl 1986. A nuclear reactor exploded, spewing out massive quantities of radiation into the atmosphere. Within days, the pollution had spread across Europe. Living on land contaminated with radioactivity would be a life-changing ordeal for the people of Belarus, but also for the Sami reindeer herders of central Norway. It even affected the Gaels of the distant Hebrides. Five years ago there was a meltdown at the Fukushima reactor, and thousands of Japanese people found their homes, fields and farms irradiated, just as had happened in Europe. This international documentary, filmed in Belarus, Japan, the lands of Norway’s Sami reindeer herders and in the Outer Hebrides, poses the question: what lessons have we learned?

IVG, le droit d'en parler

In France, one in three women has an abortion during her lifetime. Although this medical procedure has been a legal right since 1975, the subject remains sensitive. Those who talk about it expose themselves to ambiguous comments and sometimes judgment. This film documents the freedom of speech and awareness needed to break the silence surrounding abortion. It recounts the personal and social upheaval that abortion can still cause today. Léa Bordier has collected the stories of those who have experienced it in order to break the taboo that has surrounded abortion in France since its legalization.
