Le printemps debout

Overview

In the spring of 2016, during the social movement against the labor law of the Valls government, student protest seemed particularly strong and lively at the University of Paris 8 in Saint-Denis. Le printemps debout tells how these students, from the beginning of March to the beginning of July, experienced this spring of struggle which transformed them. He questions what it means to fight in 2016, how beautiful, fun, galvanizing, violent, difficult it can be, while bringing out resonances with today's social movements.
