About the Event

44 JOURS
R: Martine Delumeau; FR 2023; OmeU; DCP; 67 min.

Am 20. Januar 2009 kam es auf der französischen Karibikinsel Guadeloupe zu einer beispiellosen sozialen Bewegung. 44 Tage lang wurde die Insel durch einen Generalstreik lahm gelegt. Die Regisseurin Martine Delumeau beobachtete Guadeloupe, die Heimatinsel ihrer Eltern, lange Zeit aus der Ferne. 44 JOURS berichtet anhand von Archivmaterial über diese einzigartige und mächtige Mobilisierung sowie über die massive Unterstützung für das Kollektiv LKP (Liyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon/Stand up against exploitation). Anhand ihrer persönlichen Geschichte zeigt die Filmemacherin auch ihren Weg von der guadeloupischen Herkunft hin zu einem Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit zu ihren Wurzeln.

 

On 20 January 2009, the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe experienced an unprecedented social movement. For 44 days, the island was paralysed by a general strike. Director Martine Delumeau has long observed Guadeloupe, her parents’ native island, from afar. Using archive footage, 44 JOURS looks back at this unique and powerful mobilisation and the massive support for the Guadeloupean LKP collective (Liyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon / Stand up against exploitation). Drawing on her personal story, the filmmaker also looks at her journey from being of Guadeloupean origin to feeling a sense of belonging to her origins.
