The delegates of various 'affinity groups' at the camp in Annemasse vote for a non-violent blockade on one of the main roads leading to the G8 Summit in Evian. Little time... ...to sleep... ...as everybody leaves at 3.30 a.m. It's a one hour march to the meeting point... ...with barricade groups... ...and water supplies. First contact with police forces... ...but the march continues. Second contact with the police: " On ne va pas vous laisser passer " Retreating... ...and regathering... ...on the road... ...with a medical team.     A barricade is installed...
...followed by constant tear-gassing...
...and Samba...  
...for five hours.
Fighting the teargas canisters continues until... ... the news breaks that several... ...meetings in Evian have been cancelled. Peace offers fail, but with... ... a slight feeling of victory... ...they decide to clean up the site, ...have a bath, ...enjoy themselves... ...and go home.
