10 E CHAMBRE

From May to July 2003, Raymond Depardon and his team were granted special permission to film the hearings of a Paris court dealing with misdemeanors.

Ten years after CAUGHT IN THE ACT, Raymond Depardon went back before the judge to bring us this new civic documentary, a unique insight into the workings of the judicial machine.

From a straight drunk driving summons to the previous night’s arrests, THE 10th DISTRICT COURT – MOMENTS OF TRIAL plunges us into the everyday affairs of a busy local courtroom. Twelve cases, twelve stories of men and women who found themselves on the wrong side of the law one day.
