GRANDE-SYNTHE, THE NEVER-ENDING STORY

The world in all its states

An episode from the series ARTE INVESTIGATION

Synopsis

Every three weeks, it’s the same routine: mobile police units and riot squads dismantle the camp in the Puythouck forest. And three weeks later, it all starts over.

The exiles, the vast majority of whom are Kurds, often with their families, are scattered throughout the region, and their belongings confiscated in the hope that they won’t return. But they always come back.
