Jusqu'au bout

1973 • Directed by

Cinélutte

"Jusqu'au bout" is dedicated to the hunger strike, in the Ménilmontant church in Paris, by fifty-six Tunisian workers to obtain their work permits. After a sequence showing the recruitment of workers in Tunisia itself, other immigrant workers testify to the harshness of their living conditions in France. Underlining the continuity between the anti-racist struggle and the fight against exploitation, the film follows the hunger strikers to victory, celebrated collectively in an unbridled dance.
