Un jour, je serai moi

Trinidad, in the shantytowns of the capital, adolescents wander aimlessly from the age of thirteen, often rejected by a very selective school system inherited from the British. Twenty years ago, anger degenerated into riots. Gérard Pantin, priest and teacher, disturbed by these events went to meet the inhabitants and the young people of the shantytowns. This was the first step in a pedagogical initiative based on listening, respect, commitment. Struck by their lack of self-confidence and by their violence, he created a programme in which he teaches them to know themselves, to understand their anger, to exist with their heads rather than with their fists... Today, over three thousand young people pass each year through the SERVOL centres. Built around the life of five of them, this film shows us how the work to find one’s place in society is also a work on oneself that special teachers sometimes know how to stimulate.
