Synopsis :
In May 1999, Francis Verstaen, 49, who had worked at Volkswagen for ten years, shot himself in the head at his workplace, in front of twenty or so of his colleagues. A few days later, his family declared that he had committed suicide after a work accident, which his employer refused to admit. Agnès Lejeune and Eric Monami investigated the case, interviewing his family and co-workers; reticently, people spoke out. What gradually emerged was a terrible indictment of an entire system.
