Lives devastated, in Belgium but also in India, by asbestos and greed.
Le film “Le souffle volé” de Daniel Lambo montre une réalité cruelle et pose une grande question sur notre capacité à réguler la mondialisation.
A coalition of organizations invites you to a film debate to better understand the extent of the problem and together provide effective solutions.
Synopsis
After the death of his father and many others in his village in Flanders, director Daniel Lambo begins a thrilling quest to uncover the truth about the dangerous asbestos industry. His research takes him to the largest open-air asbestos dump in India and reveals a compassionless industry that still endangers the lives of workers and citizens across the planet. Unfortunately, several obstacles today make the search for justice difficult, if not impossible, for those affected. + info ➡️ http://www.breathless.film/
Ce film soulève plusieurs points qu’il nous semble intéressant de questionner: la nécessité d’en finir avec l’impunité des firmes transnationales et de faire primer les droits humains sur les profits. C’est à cette tâche immense que s’attèle le traité en préparation à l’ONU depuis 3 ans, dont la 4ème session de négociations s’ouvre à Genève le 15 octobre 2018.
After viewing the film, we therefore suggest that you stay a moment to share your thoughts and questions.
After the film a meeting will take place with:
- Daniel Lambo, director of the film
- Denise Auclair, coordinator at CIDSE – International Cooperation for Development and Solidarity
- Jan Fermon, lawyer at the Brussels Bar for the asbestos trial
