Green Tide is a social thriller that examines the breakdown of institutional integrity through an ecological crisis. It centers a female investigative lead who challenges systemic corruption. However, the film lacks breadth in LGBTQ+ and racial representation, limiting its broader social diversity. Ultimately, the film's value lies in its critique of institutional opacity and its portrayal of female leadership within a patriarchal framework.

Official Synopsis
Not less than 3 men and 40 animals were found dead on the Breton beaches. The identity of the killer is an open secret: green algae. Inès Léraud is still a young journalist when, driven by an ecological conscience, she decides to go to Brittany to investigate this phenomenon. Through her encounters with whistleblowers, scientists, farmers and politicians, she elucidates, not without difficulty, half a century of silence: samples that disappear in laboratories, bodies buried before being autopsied, influence games, pressure... Will the truth win?
