Two documentaries on the Zone to Defend or “ZAD” (French: zone à défendre) in Notre–Dame-des-Landes, France.
“Decades ago, there was a local campaign of resistance against the construction of a second airport near the city of Nantes, in western France. This resistance culminated in the establishment of a self-organized autonomous zone, known as the ZAD. Over 40,000 people take part in creative acts of disobedience to defend this zone.
The second part of this film looks at the various communities within the ZAD which have settled there as an act of resistance, and who work together to develop and site, feed its people, and work together to defend the zone.”
