Done by Nelson Foix, Zion current is a hard-hitting social thriller which explores the fragile trajectories and defining choices that many young people may faceThrough the journey of its main character Chris, the film highlights realities marked by precariousness, the quest for recognition, isolation and tensions linked to the immediate social environment. A tense and human storyrooted in overseas realities.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the participation of Sloan Descombes, the film’s lead actor, andAxel Lafleur, executive producer. This discussion will offer the public the opportunity to to engage in dialogue about the artistic, social and human dimensions of the workbut also the messages it conveys to younger generations. A highlight of the eveningYouth creativity will be showcased with the presentation of short films and a live musical performance carried out by young people supported by ANIS Saint-Martin as part of the project “Badness Outa Style”.
In a territory like Saint-Martin, where access to education, employment, housing, or mobility remains a challenge for many young people, this evening aims to be a space for collective reflection and opennessThrough Passeurs d’Images, ANIS and ALEFPA advocate a comprehensive support approach, making culture a lever for emancipation, speaking out and building citizenship.
