A MI LADO (BY MY SIDE)
Some mothers put their children first. Some don’t. To survive in the trash of the Chureca, Central America’s largest dump located in Nicaragua, three young women will have to determine whether their mothers are their best allies or unexpected foes. L'Hebdo (Suisse) "A mi-chemin entre le cinéma direct pour ce qu’il montre de la Chureca et le reportage pour les témoignages qu’il propose, A mi lado est un film révoltant, essentiel". TICKET STUB ENTERTAINMENT : « “By My Side” is a powerful and gripping documentary. Moving and humbling. It was made for the world to see and we wholly encourage it to do so. » EL NUEVO DIARIO (NICARAGUA) LA PRENSA (Nicaragua) LA INFORMACION (Espana) EMOL (Chili) TERRA (Peru) ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Jean-Cosme has covered many crises around the world, from the civil war in Burundi to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to the earthquake in Haiti. He co-wrote RAZOR WIRE RODEO in 2006, a feature documentary co-produced by Swiss Public Television about the Angola prison rodeo in Louisiana. In the last few years, Jean-Cosme has done in-depth stories in Central America for the Tribune de Genève and for Swiss Public Radio, focusing on critical social issues such as the redemption of gang members in Honduras, the plight of transsexual prostitutes in Tegucigalpa, and illegal immigration from Guatemala into the United States.
