Words of the city

Mamadou Ba is a scrivener, what in France is known as "public writer". Twice a week, he holds office hours in a community center in Montreuil. There, he meets a father who wants a more decent place to live, a worker who has been laid off, an undocumented immigrant, someone seeking naturalization, and many others. The list is long. Through these exchanges, a portrait of Mamadou emerges, shaped by his work, which he sees more as a mission: helping his immigrant brothers and sisters with their administrative procedures.
