Direct Action plot

This documentary is a contemporary portrait of one of France's most high-profile militant activist communities: a 150-person rural collective that successfully opposed an international airport expansion project in 2018, created an autonomous zone between 2012 and 2018, survived multiple violent eviction attempts by the French state and spawned a new ecological movement in 2021. The film documents the daily lives of a diverse ecosystem of activists, squatters, anarchists, farmers and those labeled by the government as "eco-terrorists".
