Produit par des cinéastes locaux, les frères Miles, le film semble montrer la vie urbaine de l’époque sans trop l’embellir.

France's highest court, the Constitutional Council, ruled that access to the internet is a "fundamental human right" this week in striking down a controversial "three strikes" anti-piracy law called Loi Hadopi, according to a report today from the UK Daily Mail . Were such an opinion agreed upon by other governments around the world, the implications would be striking. Conversely, are peoples' fundamental human rights being violated when they don't have access to the internet?

We think this is an important opportunity to think about expanding our understanding of human rights.
