THE ANODINES

Documentary

Françoise Fraisse

2023

10 x 3 min

With the appropriation of the migration crisis by the Western media as a focus, the first people concerned, namely the refugees, are placed in an unequal power relationship. Observed and spied upon, these refugees almost only exist through the images that represent them, and only through this denomination that has become so familiar to us. How can we get rid of this label that sticks to their skin to the point of eclipsing everything else: their personal history, their life, their desires, ... and everything that defines us?
