JUSTE CHARITY

Six years ago, 28 years old CHARITY JIMOH left Nigeria for France, taking the road through Libya and the Mediterranean. After ten months of forced prostitution to pay off a debt of 35,000 euros contracted with the traffickers who had brought her here, she walked through the door of a police station in Nantes to bravely denounce the network members.
Charity’s desire for justice, rooted in the unpunished tragedy of her mother’s death, finds in her lawyer, ANNE BOUILLON, a formidable ally. At the end of a legal process lasting several years, the trial opposing Charity to those who exploited her finally comes. The few months between the closure of the investigation and the trial are the final steps of a story of resilience. When leaving Nigeria, Charity had to make the painful choice to entrust her two children, Queen (10) and Josaphat (8) to her aunt. The journey towards the new life she had dreamed of will not start until her children are finally by her side, after countless obstacles and waiting hours. To secure a family for them, Charity marries Emmanuel, a man she met in the evangelical church. Love finds its way back into the heart of this tale of suffering. The trial is the final step, during which Charity has to look back on the four years of her migration journey. If, for the French justice, she is recognized as a victim of human trafficking, her vision of her own story gives a more nuanced and ambivalent vision of the choices to be made to invent one’s new life in Europe.
