My Neighbours (1972) is a restored fragment of Med Hondo’s much longer work, Les Bicots-Nègres: Vos Voisins (1974), a wide-ranging, multi-faceted critique of the relationship between France and its former colonies. My Neighbours focuses on the existential situation of immigrant workers in France, their economic exploitation, their poor living conditions, and their lack of social status and even visibility in the eyes of their French ‘neighbours’.
My Neighbours (1972) can be viewed anytime between 25 March and 27 March via the Essay Film Festival website: https://essayfilmfestival-screeningroom.com/
