Le Centre des Rosiers

Denis Gheerbrant
2009 France 68 minutes French

The cité des Rosiers housing estate, with its long concrete blocks built in the late fifties, looks like a fortress. Unemployment, drug trafficking, all kinds of hardships would just tear it apart, were it not for the longing to love, to make a living and be part of the community. This is what is at stake in thecommunity centre, the Centre des Rosiers. (Denis Gheerbrant)
