Dominoes (I look at Martissant)

In Martissant there is almost no economic activity. Unemployment is high. Young people spend their days in gangs on street corners or around a domino table or a bottle of rum. The hope of finding work is slim.

In August 2009, for four weeks, a workshop brought together twenty young boys and girls aged 16 to 25 years-old. all from Martissant. They were tought techniques of taking images, sound, design and produce documentary films. They did elaborate projects of short documentary films that were then finalized and produced during the last week of the seminar. The choice of themes was free, the only constraint being that these young people would illustrate the way they see their own neighborhood.
