Grève à Jeune Afrique

The documentary captures the intense two-month strike at Jeune Afrique, highlighting the challenges faced by the workers. As they occupied the premises, tensions rose when a court order allowed the CEO, Bechir Ben Yahmed, to call in police for removal if necessary. This situation placed the workers at a crossroads, where resistance could lead to legal repercussions.

In a show of solidarity, the strikers organized a demonstration that drew hundreds of journalists from both traditional and revolutionary press. This act not only showcased the unity among workers but also the broader implications of their fight against oppressive working conditions and immigration issues. The film serves as a historical document of a pivotal moment in labor activism, reflecting the struggles that resonate with many still today.
