Le Transformateur

This film is currently not available.   

In November 2009, Dumora walks from his childhood home in Paris's wealthy 16ᵉ arrondissement to the infamous Clichy-sous-Bois electrical transformer where Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré died fleeing police in October 2005. Twelve years later, he transforms this four-hour pilgrimage into a powerful, 35‑minute performative documentary. Silent walking footage is punctuated by onscreen text—police radio clips, trial documents, survivor testimony—creating a haunting critique of social division, police violence, and memory.
