Summary |
Jacques Arnault, head of Move For Kids NGO, is planning a high impact operation: he and his team are going to infiltrate 300 orphans victims of Chadian civil war and bring them to French adoption applicants. Françoise Dubois, a journalist, is invited to come along with them and handle the media coverage for this operation. Completely immersed in the brutal reality of a country at war, the NGO members start losing their convictions and are faced with the limits of humanitarian intervention. Nominated for the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. Winner of Best Director and nominated for Best Film at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. "A feature that blurs the line between right and wrong, creating an internal conflict that makes for a hugely provocative production."--Stefan Pape, HeyUGuys |
