Written by Boris Lojkine and Bojina Panayotova (I See Red People [+leggi anche:

scheda film]), the screenplay starts on 12 May 2014, on a road in the Central African Republic, when a French army patrol stops a suspicious vehicle. In the back, lying beside the remains of a rebel Anti-balaka leader, is the body of a young white woman. Camille was 26 years old. She lived in Africa for two years. She had been fighting for a place in the ruthless world of photojournalism for two years. And now she is dead. "Was I wrong?" wonders Camille. "Should I have made other choices? Lived my life differently?"

Produced by Bruno Nahon and Caroline Nataf for Unité de Production (already a partner on the director's first feature film), Camille has been pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+. Also supported by an advance on earnings from the CNC and Sofica Indéfilms, the feature film will benefit from seven weeks of filming in the Central African Republic and France until 14 December with Elin Kirschfink (Our Struggles [+leggi anche:
