Before the Walls Fall

DirectorEve Duchemin

2008
Documentary

Near Charleroi, Colin lives alone with his mother in a dilapidated house that collapses a little more each day. Faced with this misery, he writes with his friends in his room, which has been converted into a kind of improvised "youth center." Rap. As a safety valve and a necessity. The only way they have found to talk about this poverty in the heart of Europe, which is no longer even visible. Not even on our TV screens. As long as the house stands, they will not go outside. As long as they write together, they will not fall.
