Indignados

Directed by Tony Gatlif

Tony Gatlif’s (Latcho Drom and Exils) latest film is an activist docudrama inspired by Stéphane Hessel’s bestselling essay Time for Outrage! The semi-fictional story is told through the experiences of Betty, a young illegal migrant from Africa who scrapes by as she travels around Europe witnessing poverty and protests. Indignados energetically intertwines footage of Occupy and other protest movements with dramatised scenes of her journey. Visually arresting and backed by a typically spirited and engrossing soundtrack from Gatlif, this is a film for our troubling times.
