    Michael Moore "à la française"

    I'm speaking of the Michael Moore at this start, calling out to the CEO stars on the workers situation. Workers or generally unemployed as most were fired to relocate the manufacturing site in a cheaper country. Here, LVMH is doing the same (yes, the luxury field is no different from the others and still considers the few % dedicated to the workers salary of the total income is one main isssue) and François Ruffin decides to act to reconciliate this wonderful CEO with its workers. From attempts to attempts, we follow the destiny of different ex-workers, before focusing on a specific couple in a dire situation. There, a 'coup' is set and we follow LVMH reaction to it and its way to handle it.

    The documentary holds mainly by the content of this 'coup' and the development LVMH gave to it. I was personally astonished that it was tried, not to speak of the result!

    Not what I expected but very enjoyed by the French humor

    I was expecting some secret of LVMH, but turns out it's a comedy I'm just curious about the line between a documentary and a fictional story, bc obviously the fate of the Klur's family could be different if the director didn't direct the event

    Witty and brilliant

    Witty, brilliant real-life documentary about how scared big companies can be when their name and reputation is at stake. This should be part of every citizen's toolbox.

    As entertaining as Michael Moore, although way more subtle (this isn't a patchwork of shortcut scenes and quotes, but real field work).
