The Outbursts (My Mouth, My Name, My Revolt)
by
MOVIE CATEGORY
The migrants of Calais, waiting to jump on a ship with the dream of reaching England. The Outbursts, or the fragments of voices, laughter, and anger; snippets of words, images, and memory. Words that seem simultaneously close and distant, those of yesterday too similar to those that will come tomorrow; words from Africa, the Middle East and Europe. And then police raids, warlike demonstrations, and courts of injustice… Calais: front line, a “space of exception”.
Winner of the Best International Documentary Award at the 29th edition of the Turin Film Festival.
