They live in mud, without water or electricity… on the outskirts of Paris Subscribe so you don't miss anything: https://bit.ly/inasociete 🔔 Turn on notifications 🔔 Panorama - The Slums | ORTF | 02/18/1966 In this moving report, French television in the 1960s delves into the heart of the shantytowns of the Paris region, particularly in La Courneuve. Through the eyes of children, families, and immigrant workers, an entire social reality is revealed: that of an invisible France, marked by precariousness and waiting. A little girl draws a house… surrounded by bars. A powerful image that alone sums up the plight of thousands of people living in these makeshift dwellings. Without water, without electricity, amidst mud and garbage, these families nevertheless try to build a dignified life. The accounts are striking: insufficient income, unaffordable housing, and promises of relocation constantly postponed. Some residents have even bought their shacks, sometimes at exorbitant prices, on land that doesn't belong to them. Faced with this situation, social workers and authorities are trying to take action. School enrollment is improving, relocation programs are being launched, and the government is announcing the construction of thousands of social housing units. But is this enough to eradicate these areas of poverty? This rare document offers a lucid examination of the urban and social policies of the time, while giving a voice to those whose perspectives are rarely heard. 👉 An essential archive for understanding the social history of France and the housing challenges that remain relevant today. 👉 To see other rare glimpses into French society of the past:    / @inasociete   Also, consider subscribing to all INA channels:    / @inaofficiel      / @inahumour      / @inaarditube      / @inamireilledumas      / inaculte      / @inahistoire      / @inapolitique      / @inareportages   ***** Information about comments ***** On YouTube channels, you are free to express your opinion, even if it is critical.
