A film as a letter to the founder of Documentary filmmaking in Belgium, Henri Storck, whose ‘Misery in the Borinage’ is here revisited, as a social standpoint: misery, outcasting, despair, in one of the wealthiest country of Europe - Belgium
After seeing “Misère au Borinage” by Storck and Ivens, I took the decision to return to the Borinage, the place of my childhood, in order to write the social destitution that still exists today.
The reason why? To write a letter, via a film, to Henri Storck about the most abhorrent consequences of economic horror that exist in the poorest quarters, and how the people and the area have sunk into total depredation.
Each and every day, the letter focuses on another tragic discovery, which leaves us with a more and more bleak feeling -a feeling that is sometimes unbearable. The juxtaposition of images from 1933 and of the reality of the situation becomes more and more pertinent.
Deprived of any education and direction, generation follows generation, and as time goes on, they even loose their ability to protest. They are scorned. They are the people that others ridicule? They are non-persons.
They suffer in silence. They suffer alone. They suffer in world of violence that is aimed at them.{{'DUREE' | translate}}: 54'
