Jerry Garcia on the Acid Tests

Bochra, Samlé et Renata ont quitté la Tunisie, la Côte d’Ivoire ou le Brésil pour émigrer en France. L’une est réfugiée politique, l’autre est issu d'un mariage mixte, la troisième est passionnée de langue française. Qu’est-ce qui a fait qu’ils ont un jour voulu quitter la France ? Quels rêves et quels espoirs entrevoyaient-ils au Canada et particulièrement au Québec ?

La route de l'Eldorado
Ils et elles ont quitté leur pays pour la France avant de choisir de s’installer au Canada. Ils et elles nous racontent la France, son accueil, ses opportunités, mais aussi ses blocages. Après leur expérience française ils ont finalement atterri à Montréal, Ottawa ou Vancouver, où Halima Elkhatabi les a rencontrés. Après la Route du Bled, Halima Elkhatabi tisse avec finesse onze récits qui racontent un double exil avec émotion et lucidité. Une coproduction ARTE Radio - Radio Canada qui permet de passionnants regards croisés sur la France et la Canada.

La route de l'Eldorado (1/5) : À la recherche de la terre promise

Le mythe de l’Eldorado comme celui du self-made man résonnent fort chez beaucoup d’exilés. L’idée selon laquelle « tout est possible en Amérique si tu le veux », ils ont pu la mesurer, la vivre, l’expérimenter. Qu’ont-ils trouvé en Amérique du Nord qui semblait impossible en Europe ? Et y resteront-ils ?

'Compulsively readable . . . A nail-biter' LINWOOD BARCLAY
________________

Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven's family was murdered and only he and his brother survived. Cyrus because he hid. Elias because he was the killer.

Now Elias is being released from a secure psychiatric hospital and Cyrus, a forensic psychologist, must decide if he can forgive the man who destroyed his childhood.

As he prepares for the homecoming, Cyrus is called to a crime scene in Nottingham. A man is dead and his daughter, Maya, is missing. Then a second woman is abducted. The only witness is Evie Cormac, a troubled teenager with a gift for knowing when people are lying.

Both missing women have dark secrets that Cyrus must unravel to find them - and he and Evie know how the past can come back to haunt you . . .

Land of the living dead

In life’s stormy waters, it’s your friends who keep you afloat…

Maddy Wolfe’s life has just capsized. After her twenty-year marriage suddenly implodes, she heads to Brighton to search for her estranged son, Jamie. But he’s nowhere to be found and for the first time, she’s totally alone. That is, until she meets the Salty Sea-Gals, a group of feisty sea-swimmers.

Seventy-two-year old Helga is determined not to slow down, while thirty-something Tor is still figuring out who she is. Bereaved Dominica is trying to find a reason to carry on, and busy mum Claire is learning to put herself first for a change.

As their regular cold-water plunges become a lifeline for them all, Maddy starts to realise that these brave women might just help her find both Jamie and herself. Together, will they turn the tide?
