WHO: behind the scenes of Wil Aime’s cinematic gamble

With WHOWil Aime signs his first feature film and returns to the West Indies with a team, a method and a story of creation. In Guadeloupe and Martinique, his tour revealed the other side of the story: that of a film that has been supported for years, between independent creation, territorial support and the desire to make his own cinema.
