All Your Faces
dir. Jeanne Herry · 2023
Healing and understanding can emerge from the confrontation of pain and wrongdoing.
Plot
Since 2014, France's restorative justice programmes have offered a safe space for supervised dialogue between offenders and victims. Grégoire, Nawelle, and Sabine, victims of heists and violent robberies, agree to join one of these discussion groups alongside offenders Nassim, Issa, and Thomas, all convicted of violent robberies. Meanwhile Chloé, a victim of childhood sexual abuse, prepares for dialogue with her own agressor after learning he has moved back into town.
Why watch
"All Your Faces" invites viewers into the intricate world of restorative justice, where victims and offenders navigate their shared traumas and seek healing through dialogue. This poignant exploration of redemption and moral complexity offers a profound reflection on the human capacity for forgiveness.
