ISTITUTO FRANCESE FIRENZE
A MA MESURE
Directed by: Marie Tavernier (France, 2017, 58’)
In France, two thirds of the overall power production come from nuclear plants. The lives of those who work there, including minor jobs such as cleaners, are determined by constantly measuring an invisible force, the time spent inside the plant. This measures the radioactivity in the work environments, which is then recorded inside and around the bodies of the workers, and the rate of risk implied by certain procedures or simply by being inside the plant.
