À bientôt, j'espère
Marker and his collaborators in a Marxist art collective put self-representation in the hands of the striking workers of a textile factory in 1967. The results are a fascinating series of interviews and monologues about the strike, class consciousness and organised rebellion in France in the year before May 1968.

The title is taken from a stirring speech and translates as "(we'll) be seeing you," a statement addressed to the forces of capitalism.
