Documentary Month: Exile and Migrations

📅 Friday, November 7

From 6 PM 🎬 Screening of the film 'Libre' by Michel TOESCA

The Roya, a valley in southern France bordering Italy. Cédric Herrou, a farmer, cultivates his olive trees there. The day he crosses paths with refugees, he decides, along with other valley residents, to welcome them. To offer them shelter and help them file their asylum applications. But by acting this way, he is considered outside the law... Michel Toesca, a long-time friend of Cédric and also a resident of the Roya, followed him for three years. As a concerned and aware witness, camera in hand, he participated and filmed this citizen resistance day by day. This film is the story of Cédric's struggle and that of many others.

From 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM 👥 Discussions with 2 associations: Agir pour le Lien social et la Citoyenneté (ALC), which helps protect and integrate migrants, and COVIAM (The Vigilance Committee of the Alpes-Maritimes), which monitors the respect of rights for foreigners living in France.

🔹 Free, reservation recommended, teens-adults
