Filming Daily Life in Mayotte

Seven university students from diverse backgrounds and fields of study participated in research and film ethnography activities, writing and performing two screenplays on the themes of travel and its complications: the first depicts two undocumented university students grappling with the end of their studies and institutional discrimination; the second portrays France through a love story, the weight of family ties, loneliness, and metropolitan rejection.
