L'Acier a coulé dans nos veines

October 2013, boss Arcelor Mittal announces the definitive closure of the Liège steelworks, laying off thousands of workers.
This is the story of these workers, their destinies punctuated by the three work breaks, which sometimes broke up families, but also created exceptional solidarity and numerous militant commitments.
It's the story of hard work, in noise, dust, smoke, the heat of blast furnaces and the freezing cold of winter.
It's the story of the slow death of the European steel industry, driven by profitability and globalization.
It's a social story punctuated by historic strikes.
It's the end of a two-century industrial epic that brought prosperity to Wallonia and other European regions.
