Focus Years: 2006 | Country: France
Synopsis:
During the summer 1907, the winemakers’ great revolution led the South of France to dissidence with the local representatives and Paris’ government. History has never erased the deep traces of this popular rage. In 2007, this crisis is re-emerging with an amazing similarity. On the dawn of winter 2005 and for the second year in a row, French winemakers from the Gard region see their barrels still full, unable to sell their production. Caught in an unsustainable economic situation, exasperated by the lack of results from their local trade unions, tired to hear nothing but promises from their elected regional representatives, the winemakers have nothing to lose. It’s in that state of desperation that the grassroots vintners take action to save their jobs and their environment. They have decided to start an ultimate political and media battle in order to be heard nationwide. The occupation of Nimes’ Chamber of Agriculture will remain comparable with the fight led during the strikes of 1907 that shed blood over the Languedoc-Roussillon.
