ELEMIAH

The production company ELEMIAH, created in 2006, aims to promote the portrayal of French citizens issued from immigrant backgrounds both on television and in films.

Because image is such a powerful tool, Yamina Benguigui and Marc de Lacharrière have decided to use it in order to fight prejudice and prevent common racial misconceptions from being accepted as truth. To this end, they have created an experimental platform which encourages the social integration and acceptance of minorities.

Since its beginnings, Elemiah has produced several documentaries such as 9/3 Mémoires d'un Territoire (2008) and TVfilms such as Aïcha (2009), Aïcha, Job à tout prix (2010).
