From a small group of destitute families in an emergency housing camp outside Paris in 1957, a movement was born that spans the world today. “Joseph the Rebel” tells the story of resistance against injustice and poverty of community from Noisy-le-Grand and Joseph Wresinski, parish priest, human rights advocate and the founder of ATD Fourth World.
2017 marks the centenary of the birth of Joseph Wresinski, an anniversary recognized as a Commemoration of National Importance by the French Ministry of Culture. This year also is the 60th anniversary of the founding of ATD Fourth World and the 30th World Day for Overcoming Poverty started from the Call to Action made by Joseph Wresinski in 1987.
Why We Think You Should See the Film We think you can join hands with us to find solutions to eradicate extreme poverty. An important step in eradicating extreme poverty is to recognize poverty in all its many faces and forms. We want to meet you and hear from you. We want you to get to know Joseph Wresinski, the boy whose own family's poverty and exclusion did not prevent him from recognizing the effects of these on others. Together with people living in extreme poverty, he founded the International Movement ATD Fourth World.
