Le Mois du Doc au cinéma Le Petit Bal Perdu : "Stups"

A documentary by Alice Odiot and Jean-Robert Viallet. The Marseille courthouse is overwhelmed with drug cases. Those tried there are the small-time hashish workers. A large metal door slides open to let in the police vans. Men emerge, each with their own story. Walls, cells, stone staircases, courtrooms, backstage areas, tears, shouts, glances. The Marseille courthouse is overwhelmed with drug cases. Those tried there are the managers of a chaotic economy. They are also the small-time hashish workers, children who grew up alone. Below, the port; in the distance, the outlying neighborhoods, the city seething, filled with its wounds. And its beauty, too.
