Movie Night : Les Algues Vertes - October 27th 2026

Have a good time enjoying a thrilling movie, while improving your French! All movies will be screened in French with English subtitles.

Synopsis: No fewer than three men and 40 animals have been found dead on the beaches of Brittany. The killer's identity is an open secret: green algae. Inès Léraud was still a young journalist when, driven by an environmental conscience, she decided to move to Brittany to investigate this phenomenon. Through her encounters with whistleblowers, scientists, farmers, and politicians, she unravels, not without difficulty, half a century of manufactured silence: samples disappearing in laboratories, bodies buried before autopsies, power plays, pressure tactics… Will the truth prevail?
