Nuclear's workers (Working title)

A documentary by Alain de Halleux

Image Synopsis: Are you for or against nuclear power? Should this question prevent us from examining exactly how the nuclear industry operates today? Does it not move us away from the much needed social debate based on assessing the risks that we are prepared to accept, in order to harness energy extracted from the atom?The cacophony of dogmas and ideologies drowns out the voice of man, who, at the heart of the system, is the first link in the safety chain.

14-18, a great war

 A documentary film by Jean-François Delassus

Synopsis: Not everything has been said about “the war to end all wars”, about the story of this immense deception, this infinite waste. Far from it.
As World War I plunged entire armies into a previously unknown type of brutality and unprecedented suffering, it changed the very nature of war. Our aim is to attempt to explain the inexplicable: just how did tens of million of men put up with the incredibly harsh existence in the trenches for such a long period of time - four years - season after season, day after day and night after day? How did they deal with the prospect of death or almost certain injury when - unlike WW2 - they did not have a clear idea of why there were fighting?

Using the analysis of Annette Becker, one of the leading historians involved in this new historiographical trend, we want to provide a fresh view of this conflict, the scale, violence and all-encompassing nature of which both foreshadowed and caused the tragedies of the 20th century.

The film solely uses period archive footage put into colour by Digital Graphics.

A film produced by Program 33 (France), in corpoduction with Iota Production, France 2, France5, Planète, RTBF, CNC, ECPAD
