About
Florent is the founder of and main producer at VraiVrai Films. The editorial line that he has instilled in the company bears witness to his roots in Saintonge, the mainly rural territory where he grew up, and to his experiences in Cameroon and Syria over several years. Those experiences led him to question the stakes of the relations between the North and the South, still deeply marked by the history of slavery and colonization, and the evolutions of the rural world.
