In 1999, 29-year-old Sean Sellers is executed in Oklahoma despite protests around the world. Leading up to the execution, filmmaker David André filmed Sellers on death row. During Sellers' final clemency hearing - when the young man begged for his life - André met the families of Sellers' victims, who were demanding his execution. Haunted by the memory of this story, André returns to Oklahoma 10 years after Sellers' death to hunt down the protagonists and look for an answer to one question: is the death sentence really a remedy or does it act like a poison on those who took part?

Technological progress today is allowing mankind to conceive of a radically 'improved' human being, a 'Human version 2.0', modeling his own species according to his wishes.

Some scientists are betting that Homo Sapiens (that is to say, us!) will soon be considered a charming but outdated version of mankind. It is time, they say, to upgrade to Homo Technologicus.
This film is an in-depth yet very accessible investigation where science, philosophy and sociology collide, at a crossroads that is in equal measure exciting, promising and frightening!

He proceeded to move thousands of people to Paris and the French province, a movement without return which, according to Aimé Césaire, was akin to deportation, as the conditions of reception of migrants were not those presented to them before their departure.
