Restos du Coeur, 40 ans de solidarité en France
Directed by Marie Lorand, Yannick Saillet90mDocumentary
Nearly 40 years after their creation by Coluche, Restos du Coeur came close to shutting down last year, strangled by inflation and the influx of beneficiaries. A pillar of national solidarity, a crisis buffer and a barometer of the country's economic health, France's favourite charity is now launching its 40th campaign, with one priority: children. It has decided to provide special support for single mothers, who are on the front line in the fight against poverty, to put an end to the terrifying succession of 'Restos generations' and ensure that today's babies are not tomorrow's beneficiaries. Made by committed volunteers and the original 'Enfoirés', this film gives a voice to the most vulnerable.
