Vive Les Vendredis Francophones: Ciné-Club d'Austin


👉Sunday, May 21 at 2:00 P.M., Austin Screening Room 👈


By François Ruffin, 2016, France – 84 min – Documentary 
(not a cartoon!)
"With François Ruffin, Bernard Arnault, the film stars are Jocelyn and Serge Klur-former workers at a factory in the North of France that manufactured clothes for the luxury goods brand Kenzo, owned by LVMH. When the factory was moved to Poland, the couple (and thousands of other employees) found themselves unemployed, struggling with debt and risking the loss of their home. 
The director and left-wing activist François Ruffin sets out to help the couple, by making Bernard Arnault, French billionaire and head of LVMH, pay compensation for 'ruining their lives.'
MERCI PATRON won the 2017 César Award for Best Documentary. (In French with English subtitles.)"
François Ruffin
