An interview with Nicolas Boone, director of Hillbrow Hillbrow begins with an attack in the street where it seems that the person being attacked refuses to retaliate.

We see guarded bus stops, churches, chickens, guys […]
An interview with David White, director of Killer? Killer? gives the floor to a man accused of patricide. In particular, he expresses the weight that the suspicion of others represents.

An interview with Brahim Fritah, director of Les fantômes de l’usine (Ghosts in the Factory) First of all, is Ghosts in the Factory based on a (or several) true story/stories?
