About
Atika, Karima, and Laetitia are fighting for justice. These three women from Marseille have all lost a loved one to murders related to drug trafficking. Following these tragedies, all three faced institutional and media violence. To get a response from the justice system and put an end to these tragedies, they campaign within the Collective of Victims' Families.
With
Étienne Bonnot is a journalist in Marseille. Witnessing dozens of murders linked to drug trafficking every year, he felt the need to tell this reality by giving a voice to those most affected: the families of the victims. He is the creator of the documentary Jusqu’à notre dernier souffle (Until Our Last Breath).
Karima Meziène is a lawyer at the Marseille Bar and a former spokesperson for the Collective of Victims' Families. After losing her brother in a score-settling in 2016, she committed herself to standing with the families of drug trafficking victims to make their voices heard and seek justice. She is one of the subjects of the documentary Jusqu’à notre dernier souffle.
Matthieu Bidan is the editor-in-chief of the video department at StreetPress. He will host and moderate the discussion following the screening.
