Greetings franceinlondoner,

France In London, The essential guide for everything French in London, is happy to send you its newsletter number 100.


Film
	Interview with Vincent Cassel - Eastern Promises 01/01/1970
	Organised crime has been covered on many occasions but this is not just any organised crime. The subject at hand is very topical: teenage girls taken away from their Eastern European families under false pretences, raped, drugged, beaten and turned into prostitutes whilst still under age and all of this right under our very noses since this is happening in London. 'I am astonished about the fact that people are surprised about what is being seen in the film. We have to remember that prostitution is one of the most important businesses in the world and that it’s only two clicks away on the net with very easy access for anyone. It doesn’t simply exist; it’s present everywhere.' More information
