Special Screenings

Watch two episodes of the acclaimed French TV Series, Parliament, the first to ever look closely at the inner workings of the European Parliament.

Samy, a young parliamentary assistant, arrives in Brussels the day after the Brexit vote. He is not equipped for the job. In fact, he doesn’t know much about the European institutions and hopes to get away with talking… Unfortunately for him, he finds himself tasked with an obscure mission: to carry out a report on finning – a practice which consists of capturing a shark to cut off its fins before throwing it back into the sea.

How does one get a report adopted at the European Parliament? Samy has no idea, and he has six months to achieve it…

Special Event

Followed by a Q&A with producer Fabienne Servan–Schreiber
