Transition sous tension – Investigation and documentary in the Massif Central

Échassières, in the Allier region: 400 inhabitants, a few resilient businesses and a subsoil rich in resources. Following in the footsteps of tungsten and kaolin mining, lithium is now in the spotlight. For some, the extraction of this fundamental mineral for electric mobility will be the key to the region’s demographic and economic survival, as well as an important step towards national security of critical raw materials. For others, the intensive exploitation of the subsoil will mark a headlong rush that will generate major environmental impacts, anachronistic at a time when planetary limits are being exceeded. By presenting the contrasting positions of local residents, the film reveals the uncertainties associated with energy transition policies in a region directly affected by their implementation.
