Les Femmes de la cité Saint-Louis

Denis Gheerbrant
2009 France 53 minutes French

The cité Saint-Louis is a garden city which the inhabitants, have made into a small working class world, handed down from one generation to the next since 1926. A community of women? Women in any case carry on the desire of a true community. All the more since the public housing authorities in charge want to sell the houses. (Denis Gheerbrant)
