LETTRE D'AMOUR À LA VILLE

We often get the impression that the survival of civilization will take place in the countryside or in nature far from the madding crowds of big cities. Many specialists beg to differ. To ensure our survival we should not only stick to city living but also reinvest in making it even better. In this lyrical and compassionate documentary, Luc Ferrandez collects love letters to the city. With input from pro-city participants, Ferrandez highlights the importance and the pleasures of living in the city at the same time he paints a realistic picture of the challenges it imposes today. The smart money is on the city being capable of pulling itself together, transforming itself, and once again becoming the source of inspiration and the engine of progress that it has been throughout history.
