The 10th District Court, Moments Of Trial

Between May through July 2003, Raymond Depardon and his crew got special authorization to film the hearings at the 10th district court in Paris. Ten years after Caught In The Act, the filmmaker pursues his investigations into civic matters with this unexpected account of the judicial system at work. From a simple summons for driving while under the influence of alcohol to those brought before the court during the night, 10e Chambre takes us into the heart of the daily activity of a courtroom: twelve cases, twelve stories of men and women who, one day, find themselves in court.
