PERSEPOLIS

Laura recommended us this movie, moreover after our stage in Algeria. She said that we would understand more details of the movie than before... how right she was!! I and Raquel went to the cinema Funatic, in Lleida.

Marjane Satrapi lived a cheerful childhood until the revolution came and the civil war started. The movie reflects perfectly how could have been the day-by-day life of a good family: religious friends having doubts after being told to go to the war "for the sake of God and for the country", relatives in jail and so. I liked how Marjane behaves with one communist-killer son and her changes after talking with God: her job is forgive!! But not everybody can accept that...

Cops persecute all indies and punks. Just everybody who lives out of the patterns designed by the government, designed following the rules of God. By the government interpretation, of course. As usual.

NORK NORI ZOR? ZOR EKOLOGIKOA / ¿QUIÉN DEBE A QUIEN? LA DEUDA ECOLÓGICA

This documentary shows the fact that, actually, the "developed countries" own much more money to the "southern countries" than vice versa. The CO2 emission debt, the exportation of toxic residues to the South and so costs more money than the cash they own to the North.

WANDIYÀ

This documentary shows the migratory process of some men from Senegal and their families resting at home. The men work in Catalonia after the long trip to the "First World". At the beginning it is shown how young Senegalese are shouting their wishes of traveling to Spain or France and pointing Western Countries as the responsible of their bad situation...

I took this movie after being at the CIDD office, just curiosity. After being in Algeria, I can feel deep inside the eyes of the camera recording the movie.
