L'avenir est ailleurs (2007)

The Ile de France (Paris region), the third largest island in the Caribbean, is currently being shaken by young people in search of an identity. Although provided with a French identity card, the West Indians are paradoxically associated with immigrants... 1963, in the West Indies, misery rages and social movements shake the region in acute economic crisis. France urgently needs unskilled labour. From the West Indies, he organized a massive migration to France. It's Bumidom time. For 20 years, it will provide postal workers, customs officers, RATP agents, cleaning ladies... This film bears witness to these journeys, often without return, described by some as deportation or immigration trafficking. The exiles tell us about the fights, the difficulties and the failures, their hopes and the difficulty of being black French, so apart.
