The programmer’s eye
The immersion into the Black Panthers Party and its diversity after the arrest of its co-founder Huey Newton. The narrative refugee activists in the embassy of an undetermined country of Latin America. The word of aspiring Corsican actors, the crossing point between their personal story and the national narrative. If this triptych recalls the debt of the struggles cinema towards Varda and Marker, it also opens a window on the modern one. Past and present mutually enlighten themselves.
