Summary :
This single reel is an extension of the exhibition of the same name. A framework of image sequences supports the passage of 70 questions, one after the other. These images are mixed with others from the everyday world of television. The questions are ones that I initially asked myself, thinking about the daunting historical heritage of calamities that I am leaving to my children (hatred, war, pollution, famine, sickness, etc.). My aim in this creation is not to pass a burden of responsibility onto the public, or to place it face to face with its lack of education or inability to change things; I simply invite it to take part. A voice server is available to the public, offering not only the questions, but also an opportunity to add further questions and answers, or to debate a point. (Brahim BACHIRI).
