Marseille après la guerre

The film showcases a collection of photographs highlighting the lives of dockworkers in Marseilles, many of whom were of African descent. It is set against the backdrop of a 1947 strike that protested weapon shipments to the French in Indochina.

By featuring the work of Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène, who was a former dockworker, the film illustrates his connection to this history and his influence as a founding figure of the New African Cinema movement in the 1960s. The documentary offers a poignant glimpse into the struggles and contributions of marginalized communities in France during this pivotal time.
