1945 - 2009L'Égalite professionnelle : ça avance dans les transports
Carole Roussopoulos
The film presents a series of portraits of women working in traditional male jobs in the transport industry: the SNCF, the RATP, Air France and Air Inter, and at Paris airports. Each woman talks about her professional choice, her training, what responsibilities she holds, where she fits within the company, and her work relationships. They all underline the need to be organised to manage personal and professional lives, and the growing number of women who choose these jobs. They are on the whole positive and their views often inspiring.

Les Travailleuses de la mer
Carole Roussopoulos
At the fishing port of Lorient in Brittany, nearly 800 women work, filleters by day, fish sorters by night. Some testify to the conditions in which they exercise their profession, conditions almost unchanged for fifty years: in the cold, humidity and ice, standing, carrying heavy loads, and always without status.

Munich
Carole Roussopoulos, Paul Roussopoulos
In September 1972, a Palestinian commando called the Black September took the Israeli delegation hostage at the Munich Olympics. This film, which denounces the hypocrisy of this illusory "Olympic peace", is a montage of images from official television and images filmed in the Palestinian refugee camps of Jordan in September 1971 (Black September), in full repression of the Palestinian people by the armies of King Hussein.
