"A family affair" and "Brawl": programs recommended by Eva Roque

It's time to project yourself into the evening programs.

What theme emerges from those selected?

The biological family, and the one we choose.

As in the magnificent film "A family affair" by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda, winner of the Cannes film festival in 2018 and broadcast on Arte.

In Tokyo, on the ground floor of a dilapidated shack, live four adults and a boy.

No family ties between them.

They form a clan, a tribe, united.

Until the day they take in a five-year-old girl.

They thought she had been abandoned.

The biological parents think of an abduction.

The child, she chose her camp.

Both funny and moving, A Family Affair is a story of love and brotherhood.

A moment suspended between these beings who, despite their precarious living conditions, touch on happiness.

Eva Roque recommends a documentary series on Slash TV which also evokes family ties.

"Brawl" comes in six episodes presented by Adama Camara. A young man who has chosen to tell the story of a bereaved family after the death of a loved one during a brawl. In Villiers-Le-Bel, it is Miss who tells him about her suffering when her son Many was shot in the head in 2017. The objective of the documentary is to highlight the positive initiatives undertaken in these neighborhoods to try to stop the violence. A violence that Adama knows very well. His brother was killed in a fight and sentenced to eight years in prison for wanting revenge. Today he is free and has chosen to carry out actions in the field with the youngest. Like his mothers in the Izards district in Toulouse.This documentary series is poignant and shows how this ordinary violence destroys entire families. A program to show in all schools.

To sum up :

"A family affair" on Arte at 8:55 pm and "Brawl" is whenever you want on Slash TV, the France Télévisions platform.
