Champagne-sur-Seine is now a town of 6,500 inhabitants whose peaceful life hides a great story. Who now remembers the siren which, not so long ago, governed life in Champagne? How many people know the meaning of the acronyms on the fronts of the buildings?
In the town, some people do remember and can answer these questions, because they worked in the factory: Benjamin Ivanoff, Pierre Le Fouillé, Claude Pelletier, Pierre Péchard, Serge Dissoubray, Suzanne Messager, Jean-Pierre Vernery, and Manuel Gomez.

In Iraq, the majority of the population is Muslim. But other religious minorities have lived in the same territory for over 2,000 years. This is the case for the Mandaeans, Shabaks, Yezidis, and Christians.
Christians have peopled Iraq since the start of Christianity, but their presence in this land is now under threat. Faced with violence, many of them have left the country. Those who have chosen to stay risk their lives every day.
In the minibus of the “Fraternité en Irak” charity, the director Véronique Bréchot travels the roads of the north of the country from Kirkouk to Qaraqosh in search of persecuted minorities.

Synopsis
Twenty years ago, as they travelled around the world in an RV with their four children, Christian and Marie-France des Pallières were completely unaware of the people who awaited them at the end of their adventures, in unnamable distress, the little Phnom Penh rag-and-bone children…
So every year, acquainted to their nomad lifestyle, Christian and Marie-France wander about France, still in their clattering RV equipped with a screen and a video projector, in order to testify what they saw in Cambodia and obtain the necessary resources for their fight. There are three children from the Phnom Penh dump with them, dancing and tagging along on the journey which will save several hundreds again this year. Back in Cambodia, in the morning, among the dumpster trucks, the children pulled out from the dump by the French charity rounds are crossing by. With a schoolbag on their back, walk into the school Christian and Marie-France opened for them and that is constantly growing.
In the middle of all this misery, cries of joy sound in the playground, the children are free from any dirt, they have reclaimed their “right to childhood” and their beauty gives hope for a new Cambodia.
By daring to to the impossible close to the apocalyptic setting of the dump, Christian and Marie-France are constantly put to the test with all the unbearable sufferings they have to face every day. As a compensation, they are rewarded with a present they wouldn’t give up for anything in the world : the 1800 newly replenished smiles of the children around them.

Synopis:
At the farthest reaches of India and Nepal, in Darjeeling, Rajah Banerjee, the owner of a family tea establishment was the first one to dedicate himself to organic agriculture and fair trade, though he produces one of the most sought-after teas in the world. He is a charismatic figure who sees growing tea as a true way of life. He roams his otherworldly gardens on horseback and elegantly makes us think about the possible harmony between man and nature.

How to give teenagers the desire to read at a time where distractions are everywhere and easier ? How do you talk about literature without being bored ? How could we show modern literature is still alive ?
That’s exactly what the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens (High Schoolers’ Goncourt Book Prize) and this film mean. By showing the point of view of high schoolers’ who accepted to turn into a jury for the occasion, this film proves that literature still has a bright future ahead. Because when they were given a challenge (to read all the 13 books of selected for the Goncourt Prize in less than two months) and they took it up, even partly, they find themselves being much bigger “readers” than they ever would have imagined. “Le Goncourt des Lycéens” tells the story of the French and foreign teenagers who for two months (from september to november) read and elect their winner among the dozen books selected by the prestigious Goncourt academy.
Two months of reading and discoveries during which these young people from 15 to 18 drop their screens, their cell phones, their PlayStations to read the greater works of contemporary literature. Working with their teachers and librarians, meeting the author for some, learning how to debate and to reason, these seconde (10th grade), première (11th grade), terminale (12th grade) and technical high school students entered the world of literary prizes the main way : by becoming jury members for a prize. Our camera followed the group of teenagers for the 19th edition of this prize, which is causing more and more of a buzz in bookstores. A film that will make you feel like reading.
