For the first time, a French director-journalist will join an official trip to the heart of one of the most secret regions in China: Xinjiang. Unstable and by far the most volatile province in the country, it’s a unique opportunity to visit an area that’s normally out of bounds to tourists. Located in the far northwest of the People’s Republic, on the borders of central Asia, Xinjiang is the scene of frequent clashes between the Chinese authorities and the Uyghurs, Turkish-speaking Muslims who, like their Tibetan neighbors, reject the colonization of their territory. Going beyond the Uyghur problem (which gets less media coverage than the unrest in neighbouring Tibet) the aim of this documentary is to decipher the propaganda that is currently being put out by the Chinese, who are trying to convince the world, and Chinese tour operators in particular, that the region is a haven of peace, a heaven on earth suitable for mass tourism. Thanks to reliable contacts amongst the organisers of this “Chinese tour” and the help of diasporas based in Europe and Central Asia, and

"We thought we were going to attend a U.N. meeting and we witnessed a racist hate fest instead". Anti-Semitic slogans, flyers praising Hitler to come back from the dead, fundamentalist propaganda etc. These are images that have haunted many NGOs since the 2001 Durban Conference in South Africa. It all happened a week before 9/11.

For the first time, a documentary explains the inner workings of Geneva’s UN premises. The documentary seeks to get to the bottom of what became of the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights. What we discover there seems very far from the miraculous consensus orchestrated by Eleanor Roosevelt 60 years ago. Nowadays, the Council hosts a direct confrontation between two visions of the world. Dictatorships and authoritarian states lecturing the few democracies present in the Assembly. As Robert Badinter - the father of death penalty’s abolition in France - puts it: "the question of human

HIV will probably remain in the history of medicine as one of his greatest successes. Cause of a real slaughter in the 80s and the first half of the 90s, more and more doctors do not hesitate to talk about HIV as a chronic disease. If there is no cure for HIV, tritherapies, available since 1996 and continually improved, allow today to live with it: HIV is no longer synonymous with AIDS, more than 80% of patients are in treatment success; it's more than diabetes. Today HIV-positive parents can give birth to an HIV-negative child. But all is not rosy because HIV remains a social and cultural taboo and talk about their HIV status remains very difficult for the virus carriers. Beyond treatments, living with HIV is to live differently love, sex, and ones relationship to others. The promise of a vaccine being constantly postponed: what solutions to finally can talk about the end of AIDS? What preventive implement to make it effective? This film will report on the strong medical advances today and will investigate on the successes but
