Chrysotile

a film by Sarah Del Pino

France / 2024 / 59 mins

French (English subtitles)

broadcast by

Maritima TV

Chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinote...

A diversity of natural rocks reduced to a single word by the industry: asbestos. Long exploited without retreat, today extracted from buildings and recycled, it has generated a new job market, the asbestos removal sector.

By observing the rock at different scales, following it from building sites to laboratories and from laboratories to factories, observing the transformations it undergoes, meeting the workers it crosses and transforms in turn, Chrysotile sets out to tell the story of asbestos. The story of the unlimited exploitation of land and people, starting with the attempt to repair and decontaminate.
The story of a hope for peace, perhaps.
