SOIRÉE DOCU/DÉBATS

DOCUMENTARY AND DISCUSSION EVENING: ‘Coexistence mon cul’ by Amber Fares

Every two months on a Sunday evening, La Loco-Motive 48 hosts a documentary and discussion evening at the La Forge cinema-theatre. An opportunity to explore and share views on thought-provoking topics.

The documentaries tackle current, sometimes controversial issues that encourage us to reflect and take a critical look at the world around us. Thanks to the participation of committed guests and partners such as Secours Populaire and the Confédération Paysanne, these debates offer illuminating perspectives and concrete courses of action.

For January, La Loco presents the documentary: ‘Nothing to Hide’ by Marc Meillassoux and Mihaela Gladovic

Synopsis:
From 2019 to 2024, an emotional journey through laughter and tears in the life of Noam Shuster Eliassi, an Israeli stand-up comedian fighting with all her verve for a just peace with the Palestinians whilst her world crumbles around her. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, Benjamin Netanyahu’s sixth government, terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas and the retaliatory war against the people of Gaza, this documentary traces the personal, professional and political journey of the indomitable Noam. Whilst her world is crumbling around her and her message is becoming increasingly unheard in Israeli society, her profile is rising in the Middle East, particularly amongst a young, Arabic-speaking audience.
