IN ANOTHER PLACE
L'avenir est ailleurs

1962. The Algerian War draws to a close. In the French West Indies, poverty is rife and strikes rock the region. France desperately needs unskilled labour. Mass emigration is put into action, and for nearly twenty years the controversial ‘BUMIDOM' office will supply postal, customs, subway workers, and domestic help.

This film is a witness to these journeys. The exiled speak to us about their struggles, successes, and failures, their hopes, and the difficulty of being black French, and therefore citizens apart. Today their children bear the heritage of this generation.
