"The Borinage was the perfect example of capitalist injustice. […]
During the weeks spent in the Borinage, we lived very close to the miners... The film we had started was becoming more and more their own film... Our aesthetic point of view was also altered by this reality... Every shot would say "I blame" instead of "I sympathize"..." (Joris Ivens ou la Mémoire d'un regard).
