Description
les filles aux mains jaunes? by Michel Bellier
Early 1915. The First World War has been raging for several months.
In an armaments factory, Rose, Jeanne and Louise, three munition girls, are making shells on the assembly line and discovering their destiny as workers. Like everyone else, they hope for victory and the return of their husbands, sons and brothers.
In the hell of an industry experimenting with mass production and Taylorism, with its inhuman working conditions, each of them opens up to the world of the other, and discovers a freedom of body, speech and spirit. They become aware of social and gender inequalities, against which they begin to fight in sisterhood and solidarity. They experience something akin to the beginnings of emancipation?
