The Debaters

Fatou, Zouhoudi, Assia, Gabriel...are 14 years old. The school they're attending is nested in the project of the suburbs of Paris. They've decided to form a debate club where they can discuss about what matters most to them: gender equality, immigration, voting. We're filming them during a year, in this democratic forum of their own making, from their timid beginnings to the final debate at the National Assembly. They discover freedom of conscience and freedom of speech. Here, everything's in play: their own identities, their nascent opinions, how they fit in the world and why they want to be heard.

Black to Freedom

Opening on his own birth in Africa and then on his discovery of Fela Kuti, Romeo Sahi weaves links between his journey and that of Fela, both inscribed in the history that transcends them, that of the Black man. Through archive images, meetings around the world and interviews with sociologists, philosophers, historians, musicians, artists or biographers, the author takes us on a spiritual and existential journey. We cross the history of slavery, segregation and pan-Africanism, punctuated by ethereal beats, letting ourselves be invaded by the breath of words and saxophone.
