Nomadland
Covered – with good reason – with prestigious awards, this film explores one of my favorite subjects: housing. We explore the lives of working poors, those people in the United States who work but struggle to afford the minimum to survive. The heroine, played by the formidable Frances McDormand, lives in her van and joins a community of “nomads” who live on the margins of society. A powerful and overwhelming illustration of the inequalities that tear American society apart.

I would like to be erased
Although I would like to be erased either a work of fiction, it is very faithful to the reality of many families that I have encountered over the years in the context of reports produced in disadvantaged areas of Montreal. The web series takes us to the heart of the Saint-Michel district where three children are doing the best they can to survive in a harsh and deeply unfair environment. Impossible not to shed a tear.

Workin ‘Moms
What better way to forget the worries of everyday life than to wallow in those of others? Workin ‘Moms, a Canadian series aired by CBC, follows four career-savvy “moms” as they put on glasses of wine, office disasters and children’s crises. Watching them juggle, often awkwardly, with their family, social and professional life, we tell ourselves that basically, we are not so bad. But above all, we completely drop out.
