Synopsis
Not less than 3 men and 40 animals were found dead on the Breton beaches. The identity of the killer is an open secret: green algae. Inès Léraud is still a young journalist when, driven by an ecological conscience, she decides to go to Brittany to investigate this phenomenon. Through her encounters with whistleblowers, scientists, farmers and politicians, she elucidates, not without difficulty, half a century of silence: samples that disappear in laboratories, bodies buried before being autopsied, influence games, pressure... Will the truth win?
Community Reviews
Viewers find 'Les Algues Vertes' a compelling and educational portrayal of a significant ecological scandal, driven by strong performances, particularly from Céline Sallette. The film effectively blends investigative drama with personal stories, though some find the narrative occasionally heavy-handed and lacking in cinematic flair. It's praised for its dedication to exposing environmental and political issues, despite facing real-world challenges during production.
👍 Strong performances and real-world relevance.
