Camille Ponsin 2022

Somewhere in Paris, 90-year-old Marie-José Tubiana awaits a visit. For a long time, she was an ethnologist, specialist of the region of Darfur, western Sudan.
The visitors she receives daily do not come here just for tea. What they are looking for is the crucial help that only this exceptional woman can give them.
All of them are survivors of the genocide that has struck the populations of Darfur since 2003.
During each visit, the old lady’s apartment becomes the closed doors of an intensely truthful exchange.
