Let me run

SYNOPSIS

Known or unknown, then or now, athletes or amateurs, this film follows the intimate journey of 6 inspiring women who use sports to conquer their freedom, while retracing the great history of women’s fight to access sports for over 150 years.

150 years ago, there was no such thing as a woman running. Back then, it was impossible for her to imagine “abandoning” her husband and children at dawn on a Sunday morning, to take time out for herself, to remember that she had a body, that it belonged to her and that she could do with it as she pleased. Today, these women can be seen in our cities, our countryside and our sports fields. But who are they? What obstacles have they had to overcome to achieve their freedom? What risks did they take to gain the right to govern their own bodies? Aren’t they contributing to the evolution of male/female relations in our societies? Is sport really a shared, open, mixed space, where men and women can access and appear on an equal footing?

A documentary investigation into the decline of women’s rights in the land of the free.

This documentary reveals the shocking reality of women’s rights in the United States. Despite its image as a beacon of freedom, the US imprisons more women than any other country, driven by sexist laws and a resurgence of religious extremism. From forced marriage to the criminalization of pregnancy, we witness the erosion of women’s rights in the heartland, exploring the stories of those impacted and the fight for resistance.

Criminal addictions

SYNOPSIS

After countless documentaries about victims, this is the next step: the opioid epidemic, told by the very perpetrators. A story that blurs the lines between global pharma and crime networks. Marketing directors of some labs who spent time in jail are now ready to share their memories and tell how ruthless their methods were: exotic dancers, corruption, booze…

This is the inside story of a toxic business that has killed 800 000 Americans and has been slowly spreading worldwide. The opioid epidemy was triggered by the pharma industry in the USA until the Mexican cartels picked up the Fentanyl production. This documentary will give voice to corporate executives and criminals. They are talking either because they entered a redemption process or because they were summoned by congressmen or attorneys in front of cameras. We got our hands on hours of precious video footage from hearings and interrogatories. The leaders of Purdue Pharma, dealers of Oxy, got out of the shadows. So did McKinsey who helped them massively sell their drugs. We can finally have a fascinating look into the inner dealings of the biggest crime of the century.

Elon Musk, The Empire of Lies

SYNOPSIS

65,000 tweets. 214 million followers. Hundreds of millions of likes. What does Elon Musk’s X profile reveal? How did the world’s richest man evolve over 15 years of tweets to become the leading global influencer? Once not the figure we know today, Musk has become Donald Trump’s best ally, a powerful voice for conspiracy theorists, and a major source of misinformation. He has changed alongside the platform he now owns—and with him, a part of the world has followed. His account also mirrors the network’s shift : once the go-to space for political discourse, now increasingly abandoned by key voices and media. Today, Musk can shake up global news with a few words—just by hitting “publish” on X.

Portnoy’s complaint : forbidden desires

SYNOPSIS

The scandalous best-seller which brought fame and severe polemics to its author! With 4 million copies sold, why did it divided the Jewish community and American literature alike ? This documentary looks back at the controversy and analyzes how Philip Roth offers a complex and profound exploration of the human psyche.

Through the literary scandal and narrative power of Portnoy’s Complaint by Philip Roth, this documentary explores a bold work that disrupted its time by blending humor, provocation, and introspection. Delving into the tormented mind of Alexander Portnoy, a young man grappling with his impulses and the constraints of a strict Jewish upbringing, the film highlights how Roth redefined the sexual and cultural taboos of the 1960s. Amid accusations of misogyny, pornography, and antisemitism, this story becomes a mirror of human contradictions and societal evolution. Featuring contemporary analyses and passionate testimonies, this documentary revisits a provocative work to reveal its modernity while posing an essential question: what place would Portnoy have in today’s society?

Nomads

SYNOPSIS

Are the new nomads resourceful utopians or the good students of hyper-mobile neo-liberalism? The answer probably lies somewhere between these two extremes. By changing their world because they’ve given up on changing the world, these new nomads are radical pragmatists who show us, perhaps, one of the faces of our future, which is likely to be unstable, unpredictable, volatile and therefore, mobile.

The term “nomad” has often been associated with prehistoric man and his way of life, utterly different from our own sedentary one. Yet it’s impossible to ignore the fact that it’s becoming widely popular with a whole new generation in search of adventure and freedom. Alongside the development of social networks, in a life that seems to be flying by so fast, more and more people are deciding to live the life of a nomadic traveller. Whether in a van or an airplane, they all share the same goal : to escape a daily routine that no longer satisfies them, and to finally give meaning to their lives. But can we really speak of a long-term lifestyle, or is it simply a generational phenomenon? Let’s meet these young French people who have embarked on a fabulous adventure against all odds, and discover their daily lives.
