SOUNDBITE (French), Philippe LIORET, film director, <p>on the fact that the echo of this film in France has changed his way of seeing things: 'We have started this movie as film-makers and we have ended it up in a more citizen's way of thinking, cause we have been confronted to the problems that immigrants and NGOs are facing every day...' On the revision by French assembly of a law regarding the help to persons in irregular situation: 'If there would be something happening with this law, that would be a big victory for this film and also for me' </p>
