a target in the wake of the carnage people came together to honor the victims the hashtag charlie became a slogan for freedom of expression. a writer for the magazine warned that this freedom was in danger absolutely titian's must act quickly otherwise there will be dramatic consequences not in years to come but in the coming months don't even work yet and 5 years on france is once again in shock following the beheading of schoolteacher samuel patti for teaching students about the caricature as a different president but the same message. simulate the day on friday samuel patti became the face of the republic and the face of our determination to understand to learn to continue to teach and to be free i don't see any. a. word that once again stressed the importance of freedom of expression to french culture. joining me on

the line from paris is the political scientist and documentary filmmaker dr azeem out of for our leading expert on the arab world and particularly on the media welcome. did this attack on the offices of dog was a direct attack on the media in france it's 5 years on it's actually nearly 6 years on have attitudes changed in the media i mean has the media tone down their satire . no definitely not let me try to sum up the current french debate a lot of french people are sad like man those american actions are 1st published that's a really tasteless and taste. that i maybe should have but today especially after i read as not as i think that the french schoolteacher hands are saying you know these characters need to be published we need to end. the really the

what makes french society what makes the french political system and what makes a self understanding of french people meaning freedom of expression so even people who before criticise the cartoons would today say. we are at a tipping point we're not accepting to be scared by terror and compromise are what is part of our national culture and our national political culture but what why is it that the french particularly believe so strongly in allowing literally anything to be said however critical where does this all come from. oh the french the french are half limits in terms of freedom of speech and so on so you can't incite violence to hatred and so aren't you have a deep rooted for french tradition from the beginning after the french revolution

armenian like me and modern times state was created. way gradually came to the conclusion as well that presents less money is total part of freedom of speech and then the french also would say you know and this is fashion magazines have a very special role in french society they're not they're not only satirical magazines they are also in some ways you know investigative magazines because france doesn't have a tradition of investigative journalism so a lot of. issues of french society scandals are for example that brought to the public's attention souless captions and. actually not bow to terror and say oh well well. there are some cartoons which even a lot of us people in france don't like we won't do that anymore because the law will bolt to jihadi terror so you have

a reaction which is going totally against against limiting for instance the e.u. search are quite provocative. terrorists or terrible cartoons for however briefly if you will at how important are these satirical magazines in frons those that aren't aren't there are one or 2 shiling after all is maybe secular certainly wasn't part of the muslim partners call it an option a. change doc which is bringing out a lot of political scandal it's which has really deep investigative work at the same time translating this investigative work also always with satirical cut terms . fascinating to talk to your. doctor it's very interesting to see what is happening in france in fact it seems to be getting sort of tougher in that way thank you for joining to us today thank you. something now that i hope will bring

joy to your hearts and is full of optimism and at the same time it is a lesson to us all i'm talking about the documentary film forward made by french filmmaker demised children of the future and his film children around the world who through simple acts trying to help people less fortunate than they are. it's just this girl morning she told truths sampan you tell young this if. you don't want to. watch your ballroom is all found to be annoying me then you. put them on the. course to work. their homework off when napalm wants to change it's to meet his buddies in the city itself what's known as aforesaid mr. director domestic i was deeply

moved when he shot the scene 50 years 10 year old out to all has been giving homeless people food and clothes that in his town in northern france he's known as something of a young saint. that you see next door because they have an awful moment because it never hurts to. surface it up a very simple thing it doesn't both you got to do real good to move your cause for . the hospital. to raise this money for his donations by selling his own paintings his determination not to simply accept suffering and injustice made a deep impression on the filmmaker and on the film's audiences but i example on that one not that serious. we showed the film in a small town in southwest france to an audience of $1000.00 kids i followed by a discussion. we had gathered outside the next day the cinema manager was in town and saw several groups of children who'd set up makeshift soup kitchens for

homeless people and they saw them he said it's also they told him they'd seen the film the day before and wanted to hear what arturo was doing. down to get out of it was you know when i just you know with a. domestic travel the globe meeting i'm filming children who are fighting to improve the world around us and europe in asia. america and west africa. in guinea he met 12 year old i said to who was outraged that a girl from her school was being married off child marriage is officially banned in the country but still over 50 percent of brides are underage i said to founded a girls' association to prevent child marriage more surely than not there you would have to understand not just the world but lived in the ashtray because it was like oh no i don't want to marry as you're told that there would be a sin with polygamy down so misfiring maybe if you didn't know going there might yes because we're free yeah if i want to finish in business it was you know i

was going to be somebody if your house comes out i whenever i said to his there's an underage girl is being married off she calls the police and does what she can to stop the wedding this child bride who was being married off to a 30 year old cousin who is the 16th go she managed to save. people we could look at it is a children take a lot of risks pushed around beaten they face extreme hostility they storm into these weddings to stop them anyway they're incredibly courageous. that the documentary forward is an inspiring portrait of resourceful inventive young people who are clearly a force to be reckoned with and. to also live. in a city if not thinking that down. so i don't we can't just wait for leaders like

angela merkel and emanuel to solve the world's problems like hunger and homelessness i want my children and the children of the world to get the message of the film is everyone can do something with small or big steps we all have the skills to solve problems that if millions of people all took a small step we could change the world. you don't get rid of all the shouting. so for one isn't even settling for small steps his next plan is to build a shelter for homeless people. want a wonderful uplifting film mention is again is called forward by the french filmmaker . now some more outs and culture news from elsewhere in the world here in germany museums and galleries are still closed but in britain after a very strict lockdown since the beginning of november cultural venues are reopening. all men's day the national gallery in london rio de mieux z.m.
