L'USINE, LE BON, LA BRUTE ET LE TRUAND

Un long-métrage documentaire de MARIANNE LÈRE-LAFFITTE
– SORTIE NATIONALE LE 3 JANVIER 2024 -

C’est la version moderne de David contre Goliath : l'histoire de trois représentants du personnel qui se sont battus contre un géant industriel pour la survie de leur usine. Avec à la clé, un projet plus écologique. Chapelle Darblay est la dernière usine à fabriquer du papier journal 100% recyclé en France. À l’arrêt depuis juin 2020, elle est menacée de fermer définitivement. Soutenus par le collectif Plus Jamais Ça, réunissant plusieurs organisations dont Greenpeace et le syndicat de la CGT, nos trois héros des temps modernes ont déjoué la mort annoncée de Chapelle Darblay. À chaque étape de cette lutte, Marianne Lère-Laffitte était présente, caméra au poing.
