"Séance" Movie Theater

Runtime: 1 hr 29 min | Documentary By Isabelle Haëlvoet The local fight against the proposed A69 highway project—which is intended to connect Castres to Toulouse—began many years ago. Since 2021, it has taken on a new dimension, not only because of the first concrete signs of construction (asphalt plants, tree clearing, the start of work, etc.) but above all due to the growing number of groups opposing this absurd highway project, which is determined to fragment the region. It’s worth noting that, under the pretext of improving access to the Tarn region and promoting the right to mobility, the construction of this infrastructure disregards the destruction of nearly 400 hectares of farmland, rows of century-old trees, wetlands, and protected species... Isabelle Haelvoët traces the history of the resistance movement’s rise. Having followed the struggle from its inception, she has earned the trust of the various people involved on the ground. She draws on her own footage, journalistic archives, and images captured by activists.
