Changeons Tout! (2016)

Imagined by progressive philosophers at the end of the 19th century to heal the ills of nascent capitalism, the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS) first embodied mutual societies, cooperatives and associations. Over the past ten years, the SSE has evolved into a social entrepreneurship concerned with being economically viable and above all offering real opportunities in terms of jobs. Present in the most fashionable sectors, such as digital and energy, SSE today weighs 10% of French GDP, employs more than 2 million people and is taught in large schools such as Sciences-Po. Young graduates like many working people, anxious to live better and work differently in a cleaner world, join its ranks in droves each year. Can SSE transform our lives? and the economic world? This documentary tells about this economic change which has taken on an unexpected scale. Anchored in Aquitaine, we follow the course and development of some of the most emblematic initiatives in France.
