Grassroots, Those Who Vote (Grassroots, ceux qui votent)
2003 – 85’
April
2002, a few days before the election, in Port-Vila, capital of the
Republic of Vanuatu. Here, the campaign doesn’t take place on
television, but in the streets. The film gives voice to the grassroots
electorate and to some of the newly created parties. Among them, the
NCA of Sabi Natonga, a young and ruthless leader who claims the support
of the numerous migrants coming from Tanna island.
Far
from the exotic image which often envelops Vanuatu, this film takes us
right into the heart of the political life of this small Pacific
archipelago.
Camera : David Quesemand – Editing : Cecile Kielar
Sound : Manu Maury, Philippe Amouroux
Prize of the jury at the FIFO 2004
(International Pacific Film Festival) in Tahiti (French Polynesia).
