An extract from a film we are making, about victims of police violence in France, has made it onto the front page of the Guardian.
I also captured the moment where a policeman is about to shoot Yellow Vest protesters with a rubber bullet gun, only to realise one of them is his friend. The video got viewed nearly one million times on twitter.
You can view the clip here.
Bellow is a selection of short films that I shot in Paris amongst the Yellow Vest revolt.
After Le Pen wins the first round of the presidential elections in France - heavy clashes erupt at May Day demonstrations in Paris.
As the press and politicians obsess themselves with the second round of voting in the French elections, with the choice between the two final contenders seeming meaningless for many, we follow those who were never offered a choice to begin with: France's forgotten refugee populations are now faced with grim future scenarios, dictated by either the neoliberal, or the outright fascist policies of the two remaining candidates.
In the hours before the first round of the French elections, as the voices of European reason and liberalism anguished and then sighed with relief, we took to the streets of Paris: from its edge to its core, the French capital exudes fear and resentment. For so many, the election is distant, irrelevant, unable to change a life for which there is little to celebrate.
