French film show: 'Furcy' revisits dark chapter of slavery in France

We take a look at the French films kicking off 2026, as Manon Kerjean tells us about ‘Furcy’, the true story of a slave living on Reunion Island in the early 19th century who discovers that he was, in fact, born free. We also discuss the moving family drama “The Wonderers” and hear from début director Joséphine Japy about bringing her personal experience to the film.
