In the 1950s, because their families couldn't feed them, thousands of girls were sent from Brittany to Paris to work as housemaids, often to be exploited by their employers.
FEBRUARY 17 - MARCH 10
This festival introduces four previously unreleased documentaries that will premiere in France as part of a film festival on immigration and diversity at the Cité Nationale de l'Histoire de l'Immigration in 2011. Each film tackles the theme of cultural identity in contemporary France from a different perspective, and three of the films' directors will join us to present their new and exciting work. Organized in collaboration with le FIDEL (Festival Images de la Diversité et de l'Égalité).
