Manon Ott’s documentary offers a poetic and political portrait of the Mureaux housing project. It stands out by disrupting the traditional documentary format, allowing inhabitants to shape the discourse through their own language and songs. The film excels by highlighting the intersection of labor and identity. By focusing on the lives of those living near the Renault-Flins factory, it emphasizes the ability to act of underrepresented populations. While the film effectively represents racial and cultural diversity, it lacks specific evidence regarding LGBTQ+ or disability narratives. It remains a powerful exploration of socio-economic structures and communal life.
