Contre-Vents documents the struggles of the countercultures of Bretagne and Loire Atlantique, in France, as they were chronicled by moviemakers, photographers and militants since 1968. It traces the intersections between the struggles of farmers and those of workers, as well as questions of identity and ecology and proposes a genealogy between the collective actions of reclaiming farming land in the 1970s and the occupation of the ZAD de Notre-Dame-des-Landes in the 2000s.

In between collective action, history and representation, supported by great design, this book stands on fertile ground. I am honored I had the chance to contribute with some pictures in the chapter about the ZAD de Notre-Dame-des-Landes.
