Jours ordinaires dans la cité

The inhabitants of the northern suburbs of Marseille are fed up with the fixed ideas current about their housing estate. Children, adolescents, mothers, young unemployed, start-contract workers, but also a former drug addict, a primary school teacher, nurse, athletes, students, unite to describe their daily life and its great difficulties in the housing estate, their fear of facing what is outside it, their feeling of being rejected, their contained anger but also their resourcefulness, their sense of community, their readiness for action, their affection for the locality and will to "get their district out of poverty" [...] "so that their district won't any longer be cut off from the rest of the world, not share in the country's progress". FACE, Martine Aubry's "Fondation agir contre l'exclusion" has wanted to make this film in order to show what the revolt and hopes are of inhabitants of such housing estates.
