War! Club! Action! is an ode to Douk Saga (1974-2006), the creator of the Ivorian-French musical genre called Coupé Décalé. This popular music genre plays a great part in Oyiri’s music practice with its maximalism and club culture ethos. Coupé Décalé was born in the midst of the Ivorian political crisis and civil war yet the genre was always synonymous with a raging optimism and hedonism. War! Club! Action! challenges the western idea of protest music, entertainment and anonymity in the music industry. Oyiri deepens and makes explicit the political meaning of Douk Saga's musical production by preceding its "Douk Saga En Fête" video clip with an introductory sequence, as well as a mock interview of a fictional figure: DJ Eminence Grise.

In 1942, more than 8,000 Jews were arrested on 16 and 17 July and sent to the Vélodrome d'Hiver sports center in the 15th district, a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower, before being deported.

Refined, often millionaires, drug trafficker lawyers evolve within a territory where law, organized crime and corruption meet. They are smugglers, the visible actors of the collusion between criminal organizations and the legal, political and financial structures of countries crushed by narco-violence. This investigation penetrates into the depths of drug trafficking through a little-known angle, that of justice, and aims to deconstruct the preconceived idea of the drug trafficker as the sole responsible for violence. "If you kill, call me" debunks the myth of drug trafficking by penetrating, through drug trafficker lawyers, into the heart of the legal system to reveal its deep complicity with organized crime.
On August 23, 1973 a bank robbery at the Kreditbank in Stockholm went badly wrong. It turned into a hostage situation which lasted six days, and gave its name to a phenomenon. Stockholm Syndrome is a way of describing the emotional bonds which some people can form with a captor or abuser. And it all started in that bank in Stockholm. During the siege, despite being held against their will in a dangerous situation, the four hostages bonded with the bank robbers and turned against the police. They continued to defend their captors after their release and refused to testify against them. In fact, they even raised money for the bank robbers’ defence. This survival mechanism came to be known as “Stockholm Syndrome.” In this film, nearly fifty years after the events, we hear directly from the hostages, bank robbers and police and find out what happened during those six eventful days.
