Today sounds like a rallying cry for personal responsibility or civic change.
The reality couldn't be further from the truth, and closer to it. The most prominent feature of this community is chronic unemployment. The many ways in which joblessness impacts children of the unemployed are depicted here with unflinching realism. Because of its explicitly political material and the diary-like chronicle of Daniel's travails, It All Starts Today has a documentary feel. Director Bertrand Tavernier lets the story tell itself.
