In the organizer's words:
As part of its autumn program focusing on environmental issues, the Institut français Munich is screening the film Les Algues vertes by Pierre Jolivet (2023) in the October edition of Cinéclub. The film illustrates journalist Inès Léraud's research into the green algae floods in Brittany. This phenomenon is caused by nitrate pollution of the water and is the reason for several suspicious deaths of humans and animals. Green algae is the story of a widespread silence in the Breton agri-food industry.
Inès Léraud is a young journalist who settles in Brittany to investigate this phenomenon. In her conversations with whistleblowers, scientists, farmers and politicians, she uncovers half a century of a factory of silence, and not without difficulty: Samples that disappear in laboratories, bodies that are buried before autopsies, power games, repression ...
The reportage was first published in 2019 in the graphic novel Algues vertes. L'histoire interdite (publisher: Delcourt, 2019) by Pierre Van Hove and Inès Léraud, the journalist and co-author, before being made into a film by Pierre Jolivet.
