LES ENFANTS DU HASARD

The pitch

In the small communal school of Cheratte, a former mining town, immigrant students complete their primary cycle with Brigitte, a dynamic teacher. The film follows these children in their daily lives, throughout the school year. The pedagogical approach of the teacher, linked to the neighboring coal mining, allows them to build themselves in a world changing in the face of social networks and the questioning of Islam after the terrorist attacks. Narrated by the children’s voices, the links between past, present and future are weaving, allowing a whole community to integrate in a bright and colorful patchwork.
