Nos enfants nous accuseront (2008) Directed by Jean-Paul Jaud
Documentary
aka: That Should Not Be: Our Children Will Accuse Us
Film Synopsis
Barjac, a municipality in the southern French department of the Gard,
has adopted the brave initiative to introduce an organic-only diet in
the school canteen. But will such initiatives be enough?
Already the environment has sustained possibly irreversible
damage. The French countryside is poisoned by thousands of tons
of pesticides that are used each year, and wildlife will not be the
only casualty - human health is also at risk. One thing is clear:
if we don't act today to reverse this destructive trend our children
will never forgive us...
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
