A Slide and Barbed Wire

Two families are arrested and detained in a French immigration detention center, where children face prison-like conditions. Through their voices—and those of the staff—the film exposes a hidden reality: nearly 37,000 children have been held in detention in France over the past decade.

Silent Murder

Feature Documentary | Koudéta Films, CNC Diversity Fund | In Development 

In 1973, a wave of racist murders swept through France’s Algerian immigrant communities. Fifty years later, survivors and families break their silence, revisiting streets, memories, and wounds long buried. Silent Murder is a journey through forgotten violence, state indifference, and the birth of the first Arab civil rights movement in France.
